Abstract

Imagine if University Hospital had to increase its activity 10-fold immediately. The work of the Canadian Forces Medical Service (CFMS) in war-torn Afghanistan may have the solution. Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry professor Dr. Vivian McAlister (Department of Surgery), just home from the his second tour of duty where he worked at the Canadian Field Hospital, says dealing with multiple severely injured patients is the daily reality for the Canadian-run military hospital in Kandahar.
