Doc Dorlac discusses his perspective on a career of Deployments as a Trauma Surgeon and Trauma Leader in theater through OEF and OIF. He breaks down the rewards and challenges of treating our warriors, and his interactions with combat medics and PJs.

Quickie-

1. We review care under fire, simplifying training to SHOOT MOVE TOURNIQUET. 

2. Preparing for the worst for a training mishap.  They happen all the time and can be catastrophic.  Mitigate risk by having the whole team put all phone numbers for home station and TDYs in their phones.  Closest emergency room, level 1 trauma center, life flight and ambulance if appropriate, and dive chambers.

3. Submit your patient care card on every mission to the JTS under contact us/prehospital.  See the directions on PJMED.com under intel.
