The Happy Hospitalist blog tells of his own experience in getting records from Walter Reed Hospital, and as you can see, it’s a long time. He’s treating a patient who had surgery there 3 years ago and needs the information to provide a treatment plan for the hospital.

This guy was a former student at the Navel Academy when he was stricken with his unfortunate renal disease. He told me his surgery was in 2007. I wrote an order to obtain surgical records from the...

From Chaplain Campbell of Warrior's Sanctuary:Last weekend while my wife and I were returning from a quick shopping trip we saw some flashing lights on the other side of the freeway. Not from a police car or a fire truck. The flashing lights were from large "Am Buses" transporting our wounded warriors to Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Navy Medical Center at...

Beyond waving flags and buying bumper stickersw, we civilians have done practically nothing to support our troops. This is my major beef with the war at this point. Lots of folks say "if you support the war, enlist". Well, we've sent troops into battle undersupported, with multiple extensions of the tour of duty, and Walter [...]
