FOB Marez, Mosul __ I spent the day at the combat support hospital in Mosul. The hospital is staffed by the 47th CSH out of Fort Lewis.
They take care of all American soldiers wounded in northern Iraq, as well as Iraqi army and often civilians. They looked like a highly competent group with state of the art equipment. I’d feel confident in their hands if something happened to me in northern Iraq.
Tony and I were talking about how different it is from the MASH television show. There’s no Rosie’s bar here, romantic monkey business can get you in a ton of trouble, and nobody has a still set up to make homemade booze, at least not that they admitted.
Doctors do have a shack where they can relax by watching DVD’s, and apparently there’s a little fake putting green set up someplace.
