Märksõnad:

Many, if not most, of the recent improvements in trauma care in civilian practice have developed from military experience. The British Defence Medical Services have been recognised as providers of exemplary health care. Although there will is an emphasis on trauma, this book also captures lessons from internal medicine and infectious disease, ethics (for example dealing with detainees – a particularly controversial subject), human factors, mental health issues and rehabilitation.Military Medicine provides the evidence and context for these innovations, and its unique and important account will be of interest to both military and civilian practitioners alike.

Arvustused

"This is a unique and important contribution for any provider, traumatologist or not, with an interest in the evolution of military healthcare during the recent Middle East wars. As two Surgeon Generals serving during these years note, the 1990s saw enormous erosion in military medicine with degraded clinical capability. This work describes the efforts made to realize improvement in treatment, which has ultimately provided international rewards after the military experience in Iraq and Afghanistan. We now see the benefits originating with this military experience in civilian practice."

David J. Dries, MD (University of Minnesota Medical School)
