Imagine being a trauma surgeon…. But imagine being a MILITARY trauma surgeon 😮💨😮💨👏🏽👏🏽
He chose the right job, explaining this as fun 😀 all this sounds like a apocalyptic nightmare to me, but that’s why i’m not a trauma surgeon
Jesus loves you
you could use an oval shaped sponge pad put it in the arm pit then rap the turnikit around the pad across the chest
So great to see Captain Rhee again
I hope Dr. Rhee is getting paid for this.
A good friend of mine got shot at a party in high school and we thought putting a tourniquet on was the best idea. We did not apply it correctly and the EMT informed us that if they were even a few minutes later he either would of bled out or his leg would of been rendered useless and would of have to of been amputated. The amount of blood on the floor in only a matter of mere seconds was insane. The bullet entered the side of his thigh, missed the bone but nicked the artery. Something I will never forget.
When he’s talking about how in civilian triage we go full bore team of 10 and never decide if someone’s dead or not in a few seconds that’s not actually true.
They teach us in EMT school about “black tags” during triage situations (like mass car crashes or shootings). Basically if someone is pulseless, apneic, or has a grave injury then they receive the lowest priority of treatment because even if they might be alive for the next few minutes, we don’t have the resources in the field needed to keep them alive while treating other priority patients
Doc Rhee is very informational; he even explained what is right or wrong. I learned a lot. Thank you
Im not squimish but this video is literally giving me the chills cause i can imagine it happening to me as he describes it
I'll down vote actually bad content.
"Walking Blood Bank" Is so true! I gave blood twice there in Ramadi in 2006. Charlie Med had their sh!t together there.
Wow! You are an amazing Man! Thank you for all youve done and for sharing your totally unique and amazing experiences!!
Hacksaw ridge is the worst abomination of a war movie
Wow. That was some damn interesting commentary!
I'm glad he pointed out that the odds of undetonated ordinance has a very low likelihood of exploding while being removed or after removal. It goes hand in hand with Hollywood's obsession with ropes slowly giving way over time as someone dangles on it. If the rope didn't snap when the person fell with the 1000+ounds of force that generates, it won't snap during the 200 of you simply hanging. Same concept at work.
I think sometimes these guys are so smart but out of touch I've shot animals in gut that had blood in mouth 😱
7:07 "The main thing is just, get them to me as soon as you can, and stop the bleeding. If it's not your heart and your major vessels we can save you." Wow, what a gangster, such respect for this guy.
the most fun part is to help injured people, how is it fun to see people dying
Re. Ordinance in people:
I've read some harrowing reports from WW2 bomber crews where an unexploded 20 or 30mm round has punched through the body of a bomber and ended up inside one of the crew, and then they had to try to keep the guy alive and prevent the round going off until they got the plane down on the ground again. I imagine that would have been a very long plane flight for all concerned.

Ex Foreign Legion combat medic and full nurse with now nearly 20 years as a medical/security contractor I can only pull my hat. Brilliant explanations, spot on, no BS. A lot of people make fun – for whatever reason – of medics, so here's a little reminder: "NEVER look down on a medic, there might be the day where you look UP to one." Stay safe everyone !
YOURE TELLING ME MY CORPSMAN HAD KETAMINE THIS WHOLE TIME!?
When someone keeps his composure while saying that if the tourniquet has been put for more than two hours, the leg is dead and have to be amputated…
what have you been seeing on a daily basis? "Saw" on steroids?
Nice video.
A true hero. Not many like him these days.
Thank you, Dr Rhee.
PeterRhee 醫生博士 很棒👍👍
Total badass
Too bad the junior mint scene from Seinfeld wasn't here.
That AP royal oak tho
A cool medical fact, coca cola was invented by a soldier addicted to morphine, he invented coca cola to help soldiers keep away from addiction
Me joining the military to get some ketamine
Thank you for Your service
I suspect the 'Huey' at the end clip is actually something like an RAF Griffin, look similar. The RAF ones in Cyprus have winches too. In Afgan, US Blackhawks with winches proved invaluable in getting guys out of mine field's in a couple of incidents.
I mean back in Vietnam they would land medivacs in the middle of a firefight to evacuate casualties.
