The Dawood Military Hospital Scandal
 Colonel Gerald Nicholas Carozza: “Patients were lying in filth, in some cases starving and with grotesque bed sores. One patient was on the brink of starving to death.”  A patient's untreated wound  “The Patients’ Bill of Rights posters were found ripped off the walls lying on the ground torn to pieces ‘to allow for painting of the walls.’ This patient was not treated for three days, given no wound checks, and his dressings were soiled. He was not given any analgesics prior to his surgery, and remained conscious. U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan at the time described his surgery taking place in "semi-sterile conditions." This patient died 4 days later of paritonitis related sepsis without ever going back to operating room for care.  Maggots began falling out of this patient's wounds. He died a week later.  Colonel Schuyler K. Geller: "Afghan soldiers’ families have sold their farms and indentured themselves for healthcare in the US- and coalition-supported Daoud Khan Hospital.   "External Fixation device. Bandages unattended for > 1 week, soiled, malodorous. Wound management team summoned on insistence of mentor(s). Maggots found among purulent draining fixation sites."    "Drain insertion through and through sinus track. No pre-procedure pain Rx, non-sterile technique done in ‘wound care room.’"   |

Re: The Dawood Military Hospital Scandal
Oh, so you have been there? Because I will tell you that your statement is wrong in every way. This was an Afghan hospital with funding from US sources. I saw quite a few Afghans, both civilians and military, treated in the very same facilities used by US troops. I also saw children flown back to the United States from both Afghanistan and Iraq for treatment in US hospitals. So, although you can find many reasons to hate America there slappy, basing it on your comment of a short bit ago is false.  |
