Uh-oh. That can't be good when one doesn't have ALL the medical technology right at their fingertips.
Very hopeful this brave sailor pulls through and makes a full recovery. Hang in there.

Since the ship was in port, the medical situation isn’t as bad as it could have been.

Unless she was shot, she is probably getting better care on the Kearsarge than 98% of our emergency rooms and followup care. See the comment below from Wikipedia.

The military trains its MDS and medics re gunshot wounds in hospital ERs and post trauma care in Metro areas like LA, Chicago and San Diego

Additionally, Kearsarge is fully equipped with state-of-the-art command and control (C&C) systems for flagship command duty, and her medical facilities are second in capability only to the Navy’s hospital ships, USNS Comfort and USNS Mercy. These facilities allowed Kearsarge to serve a dual role during the 1999 NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, as a platform for bombing missions against Yugoslav forces in Operation Allied Force, and as a treatment facility for Albanian refugees in Operation Shining Hope.
