It's been a number of years since I've been there, but I remember WRAMC being a bit of a dump in a run-down, poorly accessible area.

The bottom line is that it's just a campus with old buildings.

I do not know when you were there. I was there in the mid 70s when it was being remodeled. It is in a poor part of town. It was not a dump with crumbling buildings when I was there, but I can not account for what the Carter years or Clinton years may have done to the facility.

It's a dump.

On the other side of the coin they are converting Wilford Hall (San Antonio) into a clinic and shifting ops to Brooke Army Medical Center.

That will leave San Antonio with 2 level one trauma centers. Many here will say so what, the military shouldn't be providing civilian trauma care. I see it from a different perspective: Military docs, nurses, and medics in training need that experience in trauma care before they go down range.
