From this week's New England Journal of Medicine: "Casualties of War--Military Care for the Wounded from Iraq and Afghanistan."
- With mortality among the wounded the lowest ever in wartime, 10 percent, thanks to extraordinary surgical organization, it is military casualties, not deaths that show the scope and intensity of the Iraq war. Almost 11,000 and counting.
- Shortage of surgeons, 120 on active duty, many on second tour being pressed into third.
- Selective Service has updated a plan to allow rapid registration of 3.4 million health care workers 18 to 44 years of age.
