I've always said that this war will not be known for the people we help, the lives we changed and the good we have accomplished.... it will be known for the videos, good, bad, US military at action or the bad guys posting. I found this article posted on an Australian IT web site. Military blocks MySpace, YouTubeThe US military said it will block worldwide access to 13 Web sites because they

I got this off of my bro in arms's myspace blog. He's pretty freakin deep for a young guy and a Marine. But I guess you get that way from being out here in the desert, in the middle of the shit, shoulder to shoulder with your fellow American soldiers!Mills, thanks for the "steal"!"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, who strives valiantly, who knows the great enthusiasms,

These are the guys that protect the site I am at right now. They belong to a part of the Muslim Religion called "Sufi". They kept insisting that this wasn't magic.... it was the will of Allah that allows them to do this and be protected. OK. I'm not going to bash anyone's beliefs. If that is what they think and they are not pushing it on me and it's not hurting me, GO FOR IT!.The most danger

Doc Here!Been a little busy the last couple of days with a MWR run, weekly reports and my turn on night shift. So I figured I better get off my ass and send this post out.One of the most useful things in my medical ammo is the reference material. I use the Special Forces Medical Handbook, a Family Practice Medical Handbook, a real good Derm book (with pictures) and the stuff I have accumulated on

I got this off of Yahoo News. The Democrats want to post a timetable to withdraw and that is stupid. Yeah, it sucks being here. Yeah, they're fighting against each other. But don't you think that we have a responsiblity to kinda straighten stuff up here (as much as possible)before we leave. Hell, the brain drain sucked most of the leadership away (political, community, spiritual) and until these

Today I am going to talk about the medical contracting business. High speed, low drag, excitement around every corner it's not...... but the potential is there. Personally, I've had enough of that in my life so I'll leave it to the younger dudes. Most of the time you are at a remote site taking care of anywhere from 50 to 150 people with either you or you and another guy. You need to be good at

Doc here.There has been quite the hubbub about the expired meds we have been carrying in our clinics over here. Seems that the military has extended the expiration dates on various medications and sends them out. If you didn't know about this, you or someone was getting very upset for no reason.The biggest "theory" I can come up with on this is.......1. The drug companies want to sell more drugs.

Doc here!Just spent some time putting on links and info on the page. Take some time to look through and gather up some good info. Looking at starting a "storefront" with a logo type thing that should look pretty cool.Doc out.

Desert Doc Here! I just wanted to start this blog off with a short intro and what I am going to discuss on this site. This will be the rational ravings of an underworked, overpaid, but somewhat appreciated remote site medic, currently in Iraq. Here I will talk about Remote Medicine, Wilderness Medicine, Street Medicine, Military Medicine and the people, patients and positions I get to be in.
