According to the Wall Street Journal<\/a>, Navy corpsmen training for deployment with Marine Corps units are getting that training in Chicago hospitals;<\/p>\n

For so long \u201cthe first time a corpsman got any trauma experience was when they were deployed, and some would just freeze up,\u201d said Captain Paul Roach, a U.S. Navy surgeon at the Lovell Federal Health Care Center north of Chicago. \u201cWe don\u2019t want that to happen anymore,\u201d said Capt. Roach, who heads the program in the Great Lakes region.<\/p>\n

The Navy is working to formalize a pilot program that has been tested here for three years, rotating newly enlisted hospital corpsmen\u2014the combat medics for the Navy and Marines\u2014and those needing a refresher while they are back home, for six to eight weeks through Stroger Hospital\u2019s trauma center. The 14-bed unit treats over 6,000 trauma patients yearly, many of them with penetrating, life-threatening wounds akin to those on the battlefield.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In fact, more Americans have been shot in Chicago, that stellar example of Draconian gun control laws, than on all of the battlefields worldwide combined. According to the Chicago Tribune<\/a>, as of March 12th there have been 414 shooting victims in Chicago so far this year.<\/p>\n

For Corpsman Poplawski, who grew up in suburban Michigan, it was his first time seeing anyone with a gunshot wound.<\/p>\n

The experience \u201chas prepared me to deal with worse things out in the field,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ll be the only one out there, so I\u2019ll have to learn from this.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
