Fresh out of medical school and newly commissioned in November 2000, I was at Fort Sam Houston, staring at an unconscious goat and being told to perform medical procedures as if it were a soldier. It was clearly not a soldier.
The training I oversaw proved crucial. In August 2003, those medics responded to a massive explosion outside the Embassy of Jordan in Baghdad. They saved a lot of lives, and I’m confident that a big reason was because they didn’t have to waste vital seconds translating goat anatomy to the human casualties bleeding before them.
