HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY, PEB FORUM!!

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY, PEB FORUM!! Eighteen years have flown by. I laughed at myself earlier for thinking my baby is now a full-grown adult! In some ways, it is like seeing your baby grow. Like my son when he turned 18, I look forward to what comes next. (Junior, I mean, 2LT Perry is heading to Ft. Sill for Artillery Branch BOLC this summer). I am so thankful that I have had the chance to share my thoughts here and to get to know some great people along the way. The PEB Forum was meant to be a place for helping others, where folks can share their experiences and ask questions. I think we have mostly succeeded, but the lion's share of the credit goes to the staff, moderators, and long-time supporters who keep the place running and make it what it is. The shortfalls should be credited to me. I am working on several cases and issues that I will be posting about in the near future. It feels like the movie Groundhog Day or a big, not fun, game of Whac-a-Mole. We get some progress and...

It has been a great pleasure to share knowledge and to have a place for folks to share their experiences with others. But, honestly, most of the heavy lifting and guidance comes from those who post, come back, offer guidance and continue to serve their brothers and sisters in arms. This forum's real secret sauce and lifeblood is the community and the moderators who volunteer to share their input. So, I am very happy to welcome another Moderator to the team- bjenk!He is a retired Army LTC who served as a Field Artillery Officer (13A).

A Stunning Medical Failure at BAMC

IMG_2391.jpegThis is stunning- the Army’s premiere hospital (headquartered at the home of Army Medicine at JB Sam Houston, in San Antonio) has an ongoing problem with having non-sterile surgical instruments cancelling or slowing surgeries. I am glad that they are aware of the problem. And it’s good to see that there have not been any catastrophic consequences (at least that we know about). But, I don’t understand how this can happen. Instrument trays with hair, blood, and bone being placed in an operating room? How does that happen? I don’t know anything about what the process is supposed to look like when things are working right but I have to think this is a task that should be achieved without difficulty.

Baked-on blood and hair: BAMC delays surgeries as dirty surgical tool problem persists, sources say — San Antonio Express-News

On Monday, five sets of contaminated surgical instruments forced surgeons at Brooke Army Medical Center to delay a trauma surgery, according to internal communications reviewed by the San Antonio Express-News.

"New life insurance program for disabled vets sees high demand​
