By the way, I am a medical school professor and am in charge of emergency rescue services for Homeland Security for a major city. This so-called "care" was much, much worse than I expected to see.

I am not a medical practitioner.
I recoiled from what I saw on that video.
I cant understand why NBC felt a need to broadcast it, and I dont understand how Shoshona Johnson could say she felt good about the medical care "they recieved" based on that clip.
I wonder if she actually saw it at all?

Dude, all they did was use gauze bandages as props. How stupid to wrap them both identically over the head and jaw. Duuuh.

May Lori's spirit live on through her children!

#4 - thanks for the ping.

Kirkwood - toward the end of the tape, after movement by the Iraqis, Lori's breathing appeared to be "agonal", as in the last breaths she would take. I say this from experience as an EMT -- do you agree/disagree as a medical school professor? I also agree with your statement on the poor bandaging technique. This tape should be used to put several on trial for war crimes.

The drain tubes/caths seemed to not be actually draining anything. They looked more like a job done on a soap opera set/production.

I am not a Dr. or a nurse and it struck me as fake on both patients.

One the location for draining a wound.

Two other there was no bloody like fluid stains.

Three they were capped off.

What is your opinion Professor?
