Walter Reed AMC: 100 years of warrior care

Walter Reed Army Medical Center is kicking off their centennial celebration this April. Despite the bad press that has been magnified to further the careers of some disingenuous reporters recently, it really is a great medical facility. I’ve had emergency surgery there myself and they have the best staff of doctors and nurses of any place I’ve ever been. They’re scheduled to move to a new facility in two years at the Bethesda Naval Hospital where they’ll have room to grow and expand and have a better pool of local labor from which to choose.

If you click at the link above, they’ve put some of their photos on line of times gone by. And their museum is filled with medical devices disguised as torture devices, or vice versa, if you get the chance to visit this year.

If I’m not mistaken Dan Sickles’ leg is there, too.
