What I didn’t realize was that I was about to be involved in the care of a patient with the most horrific and devastating injuries our team may ever see. A young American, a civilian contractor, working as a security guard was involved in an IED blast.

Thanks, docs everywhere.
This is what should be on Navy advertising.
