Mortaritaville Revived

Well, we got shelled again last week and being the seasoned veteran that I am I slept through the whole thing. Well almost the whole thing, I gave it the ole college try but the guy pounding on my door just wouldn't stop, so I had to get up and verify I was alright. You would think some people would take a hint. . . .
Anyways another boring day in paradise. There were some rumors about bringing me to the hospital in November. I'm not holding my breath.
On a side note. I think it tried to rain the other day. There was a moment where a few big drops fell out of the sky. They said that was rain; I think there was a C-130 flying over head.

The Masses

Well did our first mass casualty exercise today with the new folks. Everyone seems pleased with themselves I'm less impressed. I've been assigned to the minimal team (walking wounded) and didn't have much to do with this. We did get one patient tho. blast injury with an open leg fracture of some sort. I kept trying to redirect him to immediate team but my gun-ho FP doc believed they can manage him here. I promptly when and took a nap so I can wake up from this bad dream. . .
Guns dream on. . . .
