Talk of the Nation, May 8, 2007 · One of the success stories from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is the number of troops who survive the injuries they suffer on the battlefield. A medic, a nurse, a combat surgeon and a psychologist who have served in Iraq describe what works well and what needs to be improved.
