Read excerpt
Four years after his death, COL (Ret) Anthony Johnson, MD, is still teaching. WarDocs is releasing again a 2021 interview recorded by his colleagues Gary Legault, MD, and Grant Justin while Johnson was living with stage 4 cancer, and his voice carries the same clarity, humor, and conviction that defined three decades in Army medicine. A cornea and refractive surgeon, Tony traces a path into medicine that began with a chance conversation during a third-year OB rotation and grew into a career spen

He walks step by step through exactly how a bleeding trauma patient is treated without major surgery. The tools are small. A needle, a short hollow tube called a sheath placed in the artery at the groin, wires thinner th
Expeditionary Interventional Radiology: Make the Case for Endovascular Care Forward on the Battlefield- Dr. John Pavlus and Dr. Jonathon Schutt (opens the original)

Endovascular care, as they describe it, is decepti
