Silicone boobs are good recruiting tool?

what they do.  Or would we prefer that they get their training an a seriously wounded soldier who has taken an enemy bullet?

There seems to be an additional alternative here, and that is assign military trauma surgeons to rotating internships at understaffed metro ERs and ORs.

-Daily exposure to real trauma, not boob jobs
-Integrates civil and military knowledge of complex trauma mgmt
-Integrates the military culture with the civilian one, as it should be
-Tax dollars go to an identifiable social benefit, not a personal one
-Understaffed metro hospitals effectively receive a federal grant in the form of staffing assistance

When you think of it in this context, all the sudden this looks a lot more like a recruiting ploy than recurrency training for physicians.

is going to write an article about that.

to patch up wounded soldiers.  A complex vascular reconstruction of a ischemic, wounded leg has nothing to do with shoving a saline implant in a woman's chest.  What it will do is help train plastic surgeons, so they can quit the military and make tons of money off of Americans' vanity.
