If you go to about 9:10 in the video at the
link below a reporter asks Dr. Peter J. Fagenholz of Massachusetts General
Hospital about his colleagues saying that all the doctors at MGH had been
trained by Israeli Disaster First Responders. The Dr. replied that he had not
been trained by them. http://www.necn.com/04/15/13/Mass-General-doctor-Lot-of-shrapnel-inju/landing.html?blockID=837873&feedID=11106 Here's where the Israeli training was reported. About five years ago, administrators said, they realized they needed to upgrade disaster-response training. “We obviously have a limited experience with explosions in an urban area,” said Dr. Alasdair Conn, Mass. General’s chief of emergency services. “The Israelis, unfortunately, have this several times a year, and we asked their disaster-response teams to come and help us upgrade our disaster response,” Conn said. “And I’m very pleased that we went through that orientation and additional training.” http://bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/health-wellness/2013/04/15/boston-hospitals-treat-injured-with-wounds-more-often-seen-war-zones/MczjJJkkdLvjzqR9MK407N/story.html |
