One of the big issues with the Iraq war is, however you want to describe it, trauma medicine. I just watch CNN’s “Combat Hospital” with tears. War is not pretty. At that point it doesn’t matter soldier, civilian, man, woman and children and the service providers.

I remember discussing my grandfather’s WWI experience as an eye surgeon.

The only good that come from this carnage is an advancement in emergency medicine. We need to be aware of what all this is doing to everyone.

My grandfather came back from war to Emory University and the Grady Hospital in Atlanta with skills he would not have had otherwise. On the other side, what was the price? There is the same issue today.

WWI almost everyone died. Modern medicine returns more crippled. Sad byproduct of war.

Best,
Grady
