Treatment success at Stoney Clinic

Usually, the ANA will avoid the medical arena at all costs unless the care is given by a US or coalition facility. Since Stoney Clinic has been open the patient load has continued to rise daily, especially now that the word and the proof has gotten out about the level and quality of care this Aid Station provides. Just last week the patient load was over 150 patients with nearly 98 IVs administered. This picture shows a LN who was accidentally shot in the foot with an AK-47 Assault rifle. This will require daily wound care and an antibiotic treatment regime. Today, this whole process from admissions to discharge is carried out soldey by the ANA medical team here, which allows me the time to request more training equipment and develop other medics to function at this level.
