Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume in the Borden Institute's history series will describe forward US Army surgery from the 1700s to the present time. The book will look at advances in medicine and surgery that improved the lot of the American soldier. In particular, the book will examine the impact of disease upon troop strength, which had special impact in the Revolutionary War through the post-Civil War period. Forward surgery in the modern sense came of age in World War I. The challenge of so many different theaters of conflict in World War II will be examined from the portable surgical hospital of the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations to the surgical evacuation hospital teams of the European Theater of Operations. The evolving care models will feature the story of the Korean War mobile army surgical hospital. The defining performance of helicopter air evacuation in Vietnam, along with improved surgical techniques, will be discussed. Finally, the many advances of forward surgery from the post-Vietnam era to the present will be presented."--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book MASH written by Otto F. Apel and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 1998-08-27 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When North Korean forces invaded South Korea on June 25, 1950, Otto Apel was a surgical resident living in Cleveland, Ohio, with his wife and three young children. A year later he was chief surgeon of the 8076th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital constantly near the front lines in Korea. Immediately upon arriving in camp, Apel performed 80 hours of surgery. His feet swelled so badly that he had to cut his boots off, and he saw more surgical cases in those three and a half days than he would have in a year back in Cleveland. There were also the lighter moments. When a Korean came to stay at the 8076th, word of her beauty spread so rapidly that they needed MPs just to direct traffic. Apel also recalls a North Korean aviator, nicknamed "Bedcheck Charlie," who would drop a phony grenade from an open-cockpit biplane, a story later filmed for the television series. He also tells of the day the tent surrounding the women's shower was "accidentally" blown off by a passing helicopter. In addition to his own story, Apel details the operating conditions, workload, and patient care at the MASH units while revealing the remarkable advances made in emergency medical care. MASH units were the first hospitals designed for operations close to the front lines, and from this particularly difficult vantage, their medical staffs were responsible for innovations in the use of antibiotics and blood plasma and in arterial repair. On film and television, MASH doctors and nurses have been portrayed as irreverent and having little patience with standard military procedures. In this powerful memoir, Apel reveals just how realistic these portrayals were.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Army is rapidly becoming a modular, highly mobile force based on specific capabilities. The Army Medical Department (AMEDD) has tried to adapt the combat support hospital to support the “unit of action” concept. Based on Operation Iraqi Freedom, the combat support hospital does not appear to provide the mobility or modularity required to support the evolving force structure designed around modular concepts and the brigade combat teams. Early during Operation Iraqi Freedom, the combat support hospitals fell behind the forces they were tasked to support and none were established near Baghdad until after its fall. By contrast, the 212th MASH was able to support the war because of its 100 percent mobility. The AMEDD needs to develop a modular hospital possessing the capability to support UEx (Division/Corps) combat operations with a base capability of an appropriate size to support stability operations. Modularity can be achieved by re-organizing the professional filler system into medical detachments for all medical and nursing capabilities. Medical detachments would centralize AMEDD control of deployments, and allow the medical unit of action commanders the flexibility they require to plan for varied missions without the burden of split-based operations.

Book excerpt: U.S. Army combat medical care is the best in the world. But the number of injuries sustained by soldiers that lead to death, usually due to hypovolemic shock, remains unacceptably high. Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals (MASH) far forward on the battlefield have led to advanced, professional medical and surgical care earlier than previously possible. Yet MASH hospitals are Corps-level assets, and as such are often too far back to intervene in the 'golden hour' of trauma care when lives can be saved. Forward surgical teams can be built from the assets of either MASH hospitals or Combat Support Hospitals (CSH), and can be utilized as far forward as the medical companies of the Division's Forward Support Battalions (FSB), thus decreasing the evacuation distance from point of wounding and providing life-saving surgical treatment much farther forward than previously possible.
Download or read book Mash written by Richard Hooker and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the movie, this is the novel that gave life to Hawkeye Pierce, Trapper John, Hot Lips Houlihan, Frank Burns, Radar O'Reilly, and the rest of the gang that made the 4077th MASH like no other place in Korea or on earth. The doctors who worked in the Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals (MASH) during the Korean War were well trained but, like most soldiers sent to fight a war, too young for the job. In the words of the author, "a few flipped their lids, but most of them just raised hell, in a variety of ways and degrees." For fans of the movie and the series alike, here is the original version of that perfectly corrupt football game, those martini-laced mornings and sexual escapades, and that unforgettable foray into assisted if incompleted suicide—all as funny and poignant now as they were before they became a part of America's culture and heart.
Download or read book Skilled and Resolute written by U. S. Military and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This excellent book by the U.S. Army provides a unique view of an important MASH unit forward deployed medical team from World War I through the Iraqi Freedom campaign. Chapter One - World War I * Chapter Two - World War II * Chapter Three - The Vietnam War * Chapter Four - Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm * Chapter Five - The 1990s: Trouble in the Balkans * Chapter Six - Operation Iraqi Freedom * Chapter Seven - Last Days of the MASH The passage of time shows that a continual reduction in fatalities and debilitating injuries occurs when our Wounded reach medical and surgical care as soon as possible. That is a key message in this recounting of the history of the 12th Evacuation Hospital, 212th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, and 212th Combat Support Hospital and their 10 decades of service to Service Members, Coalition Forces, and the Nation. Throughout Army Medicine's history our experiences have strengthened our capacity and our resolve as a healthcare organization. We are America's most trusted premier medical team, and our successful mission accomplishment is testimony to the phenomenal resilience, dedication, and innovative spirit of Army Medicine's Soldier Medics and Civilians. Sanders Marble, Senior Historian with the AMEDD Center of History and Heritage, has insightfully detailed their story in Skilled and Resolute: A History of the 12th Evacuation Hospital and 212th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital. Dr. Marble has created a history that is much like that of other histories in the Army-individual valor and unit glory. Similar histories do not, however, make identical histories, and the 12th-the oldest deployable medical treatment facility-owns a special place in the annals of Army Medicine. Time has marched on for military medicine, a second key message in this book. Today's battlefield and medical support on the battlefield are vastly improved from early wars of the Twentieth Century. Technology, force structure, and doctrine have changed, as has the composition and attitudes of the American public and the Army. This book is more than a narrative of what one distinguished unit accomplished. These pages are filled with personal insights on how individuals overcame hardship and circumstances to provide the best care possible at the time. This book will make you think about how our healthcare team was brought together and how it sustained its effectiveness during varied and prolonged operations.
