R: Walter Reed, Military Medicine, a New Commission

[kmattox at aol.com]

I would agree it would be good not to have a war, not to have car wrecks, not to have drugs and not to have family social violence.   It would be good for people to NOT smoke and to Not drink booze, but we as clinicians care for the medical needs of a society.   

So very many special interest groups try to support their interest de jour.  We are in the midst of the greatest wounding frenzy of the past 50 yeasr with head injury , amputations and devastating injury.   We must NO t abandon our patients and their needs at any level,  including the wounded soldier who goes back home to heartland America.

I think  that maybe a little less war is better rather than reduce the
spending on  research, malaria is a world wide problem that causes millions
of deaths in  one year. I think that is very relevant  rsearch!!

Peter:
 
While I pointed out that the military has a long history of doing this kind  
of research, both Ken Mattox and I agree that this is the sort of thing that  
will be more appropriate to handle under the auspices of the US CDC.
 
Neither of us want to see that research deleted or un funded, just moved to  
a more appropriate slot.
