WEBVTT 00:02.940 --> 00:05.050 the mainland terms we need to take 00:05.060 --> 00:08.490 pictures uh the organs and 00:08.500 --> 00:10.920 bones . And with the cat scan machine 00:10.930 --> 00:12.800 we take pictures that are cross 00:12.800 --> 00:15.040 sectional anatomy . So as if you have a 00:15.050 --> 00:17.106 patient's body like this , we pull a 00:17.106 --> 00:19.250 piece out and look at it this way of 00:19.250 --> 00:21.472 the body so the doctors can look inside 00:21.480 --> 00:24.950 to some equipment . Okay We have 00:24.960 --> 00:28.110 our basic picker explain machine . It's 00:28.110 --> 00:30.330 a fixed unit . It's in the icebox 00:30.330 --> 00:32.497 looking collapsible and moved around . 00:32.497 --> 00:34.441 If we have to get somewhere else , 00:34.730 --> 00:37.600 that's our main machine or explain 00:37.600 --> 00:39.544 patients . We also have a portable 00:39.544 --> 00:42.200 machine machine . We use the er it does 00:42.200 --> 00:44.590 all of our trauma work . It really 00:44.590 --> 00:46.590 helps us to be more efficient so we 00:46.590 --> 00:48.812 don't have to move patients around down 00:48.812 --> 00:50.812 here in the department . You can go 00:50.812 --> 00:52.757 right to where they're at with the 00:52.757 --> 00:54.923 doctors are working on the tv and take 00:54.923 --> 00:57.034 X rays right then and put them on our 00:57.034 --> 00:56.640 digital systems to the doctors can see 00:56.670 --> 00:59.860 immediately . So as far as 01:02.680 --> 01:05.550 it is , we keep we still keep a wet 01:05.550 --> 01:08.370 processor as a backup . But it's pretty 01:08.370 --> 01:11.270 advanced right now . It's all digital a 01:11.280 --> 01:14.250 unit to develop a film . And doctors 01:14.250 --> 01:16.472 all over the hospital can see it . It's 01:16.472 --> 01:20.070 pretty difficult but as far as X rays . 01:20.080 --> 01:23.470 Yeah school so the military of the year , 01:23.520 --> 01:25.687 it is six months at Fort Sam Houston . 01:25.687 --> 01:28.760 Uh Didactic work that you do six months 01:28.760 --> 01:31.410 on the job training at a hospital based 01:31.410 --> 01:34.800 to side after that , depending on which 01:34.810 --> 01:36.977 you get assigned to first . You can be 01:36.977 --> 01:39.199 cross trained in different modalities . 01:39.199 --> 01:42.730 CTR ultrasound . Uh There's also a 01:42.740 --> 01:44.851 civilian registries for each of those 01:44.851 --> 01:46.851 you can get as well to put yourself 01:46.851 --> 01:50.190 above that . Actually . We do it 01:50.190 --> 01:52.301 initially . Uh in the er when they're 01:52.301 --> 01:54.468 being evaluated , we do our portable X 01:54.468 --> 01:57.270 rays to evaluate broken bones . 01:57.280 --> 02:00.850 Uh Freer . Uh 02:02.090 --> 02:04.146 well it depends what it is . Some of 02:04.146 --> 02:06.600 them are okay . The cat scan machine , 02:06.600 --> 02:09.620 we used to diagnose blood , blood in 02:09.620 --> 02:12.950 the brain , liberal aspirations , a 02:12.960 --> 02:15.730 whole range of other , but basically 02:15.760 --> 02:18.720 that's what we use that for . Uh 02:19.710 --> 02:20.960 the uh the 02:21.050 --> 02:25.030 way 02:25.040 --> 02:26.400 how important 02:26.590 --> 02:30.630 way 02:30.640 --> 02:33.860 it's major podcast machine goes down 02:33.860 --> 02:35.804 totally . We don't have a cat scan 02:35.804 --> 02:38.027 ability . We have too many patients out 02:38.027 --> 02:40.138 to another place where they can do it 02:40.138 --> 02:39.950 where they can do a cat scan on , 02:39.960 --> 02:41.960 especially when you're dealing with 02:41.960 --> 02:43.960 blunt force trauma . We do many cat 02:43.960 --> 02:45.738 scans on the brain and stuff to 02:45.738 --> 02:47.904 evaluate from blood and that the major 02:47.904 --> 02:49.960 ones , we have patients that were in 02:49.960 --> 02:52.071 the brain when you met them out so we 02:52.071 --> 02:55.950 can see a protein . So it's uh 02:57.930 --> 03:00.560 definitely we're doing our part to come 03:00.560 --> 03:02.671 in here and take care of soldiers and 03:02.671 --> 03:04.727 Iraqi people when they do that every 03:04.727 --> 03:06.782 day . We see people coming back . We 03:06.782 --> 03:08.893 have Iraqi tanks . Were you just come 03:08.893 --> 03:11.030 back multi multiple care . You see 03:11.030 --> 03:13.252 people that came in that were all blown 03:13.252 --> 03:15.363 up and they come back now and they're 03:15.363 --> 03:17.419 walking and they're happy to see you 03:17.419 --> 03:19.252 shaking your hand , definitely a 03:19.252 --> 03:21.030 difference describing more than 03:21.030 --> 03:23.141 anything is working a lot more kids . 03:23.141 --> 03:25.252 And I thought I would . I don't think 03:25.252 --> 03:27.586 I'll be doing some kids being over here , 03:27.586 --> 03:30.830 but that's not the case . You see a 03:30.860 --> 03:33.027 different part of what's going on over 03:33.027 --> 03:36.960 here . As far as you see it , all , 03:36.960 --> 03:40.830 the worst part of all of it with hard 03:41.070 --> 03:43.292 to keep the general write it all down . 03:43.292 --> 03:46.050 But everybody deals with their own way , 03:46.060 --> 03:47.338 a different working in 03:50.240 --> 03:52.420 a car crash and things like that . You 03:52.420 --> 03:54.531 see some of the same stuff , a lot of 03:54.531 --> 03:56.642 support here , we see different , you 03:56.642 --> 03:58.698 know , you don't see patients in the 03:58.698 --> 04:00.864 states that have 20 ball bearings from 04:00.864 --> 04:03.031 the suicide bomber . So it's different 04:03.031 --> 04:05.142 being over here . It is different . I 04:05.142 --> 04:07.700 can't explain if you see us soldier 04:08.160 --> 04:10.271 gets blown up coming in . You told me 04:10.271 --> 04:12.382 that if you do , they got a car crash 04:12.382 --> 04:14.560 in stage , I can explain to 04:15.480 --> 04:16.680 us 04:20.350 --> 04:22.461 exactly the same no matter how taking 04:22.461 --> 04:24.572 care of a U . S . Soldier in the next 04:24.572 --> 04:26.628 one , taking care of a little girl , 04:26.628 --> 04:28.739 and the next one was a suicide bomber 04:28.739 --> 04:28.700 and you take care of all the 04:29.890 --> 04:34.230 way 04:35.120 --> 04:38.080 down the way it is Katherine machine , 04:38.220 --> 04:40.230 it's called . Yeah , challenges 04:41.490 --> 04:43.840 sometimes supply lines slower than what 04:43.840 --> 04:46.080 it should be and that's hard for us and 04:46.080 --> 04:48.310 we're trying to get supplies when 04:48.310 --> 04:50.477 equipment breaks , we can't always get 04:50.477 --> 04:52.588 fixed in the timely manner and that's 04:52.588 --> 04:54.699 frustrating whenever you just want to 04:54.699 --> 04:56.866 have your machine , right ? And so you 04:56.866 --> 04:56.850 do the best job , you can take care of 04:56.860 --> 04:59.082 people and do what you gotta get out of 04:59.082 --> 05:01.193 here . And sometimes we can't do that 05:01.193 --> 05:03.249 as fast as we need to because of our 05:03.249 --> 05:05.304 equipment . And that's the biggest , 05:05.304 --> 05:08.100 biggest problem overall , 05:10.530 --> 05:13.830 it's a , as far as supplies and stuff , 05:13.840 --> 05:16.062 a lot better than what I thought it was 05:16.062 --> 05:18.229 gonna be a lot better than I thought I 05:18.229 --> 05:21.090 was going to be . So overall we do the 05:21.100 --> 05:23.100 things we need . You know , there's 05:23.100 --> 05:25.322 gonna be problems obviously when you're 05:25.322 --> 05:27.544 dealing with being over here and try to 05:27.544 --> 05:28.544 use supplies 05:28.544 --> 05:33.060 but 05:34.070 --> 05:37.740 get out and forget , don't forget is 05:37.750 --> 05:41.310 we had a 20 patient mask out and I was 05:41.310 --> 05:43.477 the first person as far as it takes in 05:43.477 --> 05:45.254 the er and we had a bunch of us 05:45.254 --> 05:48.440 soldiers coming and you have a lot of 05:48.450 --> 05:51.240 walking wounded and that's what we had 05:51.450 --> 05:53.900 and you see all us guys come in and 05:53.900 --> 05:56.150 shut up all over the place . You know , 05:56.160 --> 05:58.160 just taking seats wherever they can 05:58.160 --> 06:00.104 bleed all over the place , talking 06:00.104 --> 06:02.327 about where they got hit and everything 06:02.327 --> 06:04.327 and just look at it and you can see 06:04.327 --> 06:04.260 look at that face like they just have 06:04.260 --> 06:07.800 to be alive . I'll never forget that . 06:10.050 --> 06:13.010 You have no respect for anything guys 06:13.010 --> 06:16.580 out there and do what they do , respect , 06:16.580 --> 06:18.860 always respect what they do . I think 06:18.960 --> 06:21.127 they're ready ready to do what they do 06:21.127 --> 06:23.238 and they take care of us . You know , 06:23.238 --> 06:26.000 and they love what they do and I've 06:26.000 --> 06:28.167 always respected and I'm just going to 06:28.167 --> 06:30.389 get a little cars and help take care of 06:30.389 --> 06:32.333 yourself following the progress of 06:32.333 --> 06:34.730 patients , all patients were pretty 06:34.730 --> 06:36.508 much do anyway just because all 06:36.508 --> 06:38.563 patients usually have some sort of X 06:38.563 --> 06:40.800 ray films . There were always were 06:40.800 --> 06:42.800 shooting when they come back in and 06:42.800 --> 06:45.022 taking pictures and stuff . So you kind 06:45.022 --> 06:47.022 of see it anyway . It just comes on 06:47.022 --> 06:49.244 with the job . Like I said before about 06:49.244 --> 06:51.244 the Iraqi clinic whenever they come 06:51.244 --> 06:53.411 back to follow up care months down the 06:53.411 --> 06:55.411 road and I would say we'll take you 06:55.411 --> 06:57.522 guys that couldn't walk that had by a 06:57.522 --> 07:00.130 lot of pressures and then they come in 07:00.230 --> 07:03.040 and they're walking out and you see how 07:03.040 --> 07:06.430 the progressive party , something like 07:06.430 --> 07:08.960 this and it's the most important thing . 07:08.960 --> 07:11.600 I don't have an army without a doubt . 07:11.610 --> 07:14.780 Sure . Yeah , it's my first one in Iraq . 07:14.790 --> 07:16.734 I've been like some smaller places 07:16.734 --> 07:18.790 ponder and stuff like that , but you 07:18.790 --> 07:21.012 can be prepared to , should we call the 07:21.012 --> 07:24.360 plant is , well , I gotta tell you 07:24.360 --> 07:26.527 before writing down in a journal , you 07:26.527 --> 07:28.638 know , I just hope that you think you 07:28.638 --> 07:31.010 can read came from my experiences and 07:31.020 --> 07:33.450 uh people like later on down the road 07:33.450 --> 07:35.561 as far as like my shoulder and what I 07:35.561 --> 07:37.839 want to know what I think is all about , 07:37.839 --> 07:40.061 what it's really like . You can go back 07:40.061 --> 07:39.730 and read the things I've written down 07:39.730 --> 07:41.730 and see it from his point of view . 07:41.730 --> 07:43.952 When they're actually there , you'll be 07:43.952 --> 07:46.390 able , something's up over here .
