Last days have been way to busy...and well...it is as best I can describe it gruesome beyond description....but I think I will focus on Bastion Hospital which is a pretty amazing place all in all. It has a fairly long history and in 2008 moved into its current "permanent" building. The British run the hospital with about 70 US Navy support.
The hospital sits kind of in the middle of Helmand province but is close to Sangin which is now THE current “hotbed” of activity in Afghan and least for the US Marines who now have combined with the Brits here in this area. The hospital has about hummm…50 beds and about 12 ICU beds and 4 ORs with the ability to expand. We take are of ALL ISAF forces in the area and also all the Afghan nationals, police, and army. Pics are of the ORs...what is weird is what is allowed in the ORs as far as dress and movement...it has taken some getting use to...but more on that later
