If you were at war and you got shot but there was no bandages left would you want your doctor to be a sikh?

I think a lot of peoples attitudes towards race are caused by a particular races behaviour,\neg muslims hate everything of the free world.\nBlacks blame the british empire for failing to progress\n\nbut , i have never heard anyone complain about a sikh.Of all the ethnic minorities in britain, they are the cleanest, they all speak english, they for the most part are professionals,they respect our country.\nThey also fought bravely with britain in north africa against the germans and italians(when they could catch the italians!)

I would ask, "Why, despite hundreds of millions of prayers to stop Hitler before he killed 30+ million during WWII, couldn't you slip one little blood clot into his arteries? After all, you turned a good woman unto a pillar of salt for just  looking over her shoulder.".

Sounds like your a harden criminal on the run. Well depending on where the bullet is lodged or if it's a through and through, depends on the first aid. If the bullet is lodged near or around vital organs or vessels then you need to seek medical attention. Probably need to seek attention if there's a lot of bleeding or if you were shot in the stomach or chest area. Now if it's a through and through and you were shot in one of the extremities and then there's not much bleeding then you should be okay. If you're not on the run then I would go to the ER. Oh, that's right forgot to tell you about first aid. Clean the area thoroughly just in case the bullet went through something else first(normally bullets are sterile due to the high temp. when discharged) then bandaged. Change everyday.

That would be poetic justice. Tell him, you fight the war with the body armor you have, not the body armor you wish you had.......

It might be possible but only if a doctor is willing to vouch that your life is in danger unless you receive this procedure.  Most doctors would not be willing to place their reputations on the line unless this were true.

We owe each and every soldier.  Upon leaving they should at the least be offered sustaining medical and dental coverage until they get employment.  Some are left with no possibility of future employment!  Where is our responsibility!

Uh-oh, supertrooper, thats not true. If I would be a patient in a hospital then I would like to be treated by a foreign graduate doctor especially if I have multiple diseases. You know why? Coz doctors who studied here are only taught or only concentrate in their field of interests. Ask them about problems in some other part of the body and they wouldn't know. They have to refer you to some other specialist.That's why patients spend a lot of time in the hospitals here, they have to wait for specialists. \n\n Doctors who graduated in other countries studied everything generally so when they graduate they know more. Less developed countries? They use the same books too, and schools and hospitals are also well equipped. The difference is, if America has a big brownout/blackout and electricity is gone, a lot of medical profesionals here might not be able to function because we relied too much on machines whereas those doctors from less developed countries might prove better. \n\nI witnessed an american orthosurgeon in an Operating room in a LESS DEVELOPED country with gadgets brought from the US while I was observing a procedure. He wanted all this modern equipments brought to the room to show off. Everybody was impressed of course, even I could not stop staring. They were supposed to put something in the patients femur because it was fractured. The thing wouldn't fit so they have to drill a bigger hole in the bone. The visitor was supposed to do the procedure inorder to show how his gadgets work. Suddenly there was a blackout, electricity was out and he froze. His gadgets don't work anymore without electricity, patients vital signs not good. Would you believe he didn't know what to do? The local orthopedic surgeon had to take over. The medical instruments they were using are not even primitive, but the hi-tech doctor got used to modern instruments that he couldn't perform anymore. I was there all the time, I saw everything, I heard him say " We underestimated you doctors from less developed countries. We shouldn't have, because if my country have a blackout like this, a lot of peoples lives would be lost. I like modern gadgets, but I should remember to use the basics once in a while" Out of the mouths of babes.\n\nSame goes with nurses trained from other countries too, particularly Asia. The could do the work of a CNA, LVN and a nurse, and they could be transferred from one ward to the other because they were trained to do everything. Ask their supervisors they would attest to it.\n\nA lot of people might not like what I said but it's true, everything I said really happened. So, to answer the question, YES, I think immigrants credentials should be recognized by the country they migrated in, specially if they're good. This way, we gain more professionals that work in their particular fields. We have standards here, all they have to do is have their courses credentialed then they take the tests to be licensed. We must never underestimate what our neighboring countries can do. A lot of our countrymen go to other countries to get treatment too, and I know of a certain country that is less developed than us that's starting to be a haven for people who wants cosmetic surgery and etc. Medical standards are like ours, but definitely a lot cheaper. The doctor treats patients from Hollywood and stars from other countries at a much cheaper price too.\n\n*My answer is still yes supertrooper, that's why we have credentialing bodies depending on what degree these people graduated on. If they find out that the applicant's education/curriculum is not set to US standards then they are not allowed to work until they study further or complete the requirements. On the other hand if they qualify then we gain professionals. That's why we have Nurses, Engineers, Architects,  CPA's and etc from other countries working here, they were credentialed and approved to work. Some of them might e

I would try to make peace and stay out of other countries business unless they make war with us first.  I would fix health care, I would create a more even system so the rich would not rule everything, we have disabled people here in America that can't even afford there medicine. Here in Missouri, Governor Matt Blunt took medicaid away from many disabled, and had at least 175,000,000 that he didn't know what to do with and still wouldn't reinstate the medicaid to the elderly and disabled. I would at least have a concious.

If you have an open wound and they have an open wound- yes.

What part of the groin?  What type of weapon?  How close are you to a doctor?  Shot from the front or from behind?  Straight on or at an angle?  \n\nIf you are shot in the groin at close range with a shotgun, you would live as long as it took to bleed out.  \n\nThe rifle bullets of the period were made of lead and weighed over an ounce.  When that hit you, it made a really big hole.  Pistols had smaller sized bullets and did less damage.  \n\nIf you are writing a story, you can have anything you want to happen.  Die instantly, not likely.  In a few minutes, highly likely.  Get some doctoring right away and not have any arterial damage, you could live but you'd probably walk funny.  Whatever you want.

The power to heal would be my choose. Too many children in this world suffer on diseases which are not healable yet. Just like Aids, which is the most famous one. Or just think about all those that had to suffer in wars... \n\nNo child on this planet should bear on political and human failures!

Yeh its not exactly ideal but historians are naturally curious. Those soliders who fell might never have got the honour they deserved for being in that battle. If historians find there bodies they maybe able to be laid to rest properly and help us to appreciate that there help made the world today!

Nope, it actually happens.  A friend of mine who served in Viet Nam actually lost control of his bladder when his platoon was clearing out some wounded troops and they got fired upon.  He jumped into the helicopter and noticed that he had urinated all over himself. \n\nI have never been shot at, so I can't say what I would do.
