Medical Pros Work Together in Chad (3) of (5)

U.S. Army Reserve Maj. Joe Hollingsworth, an emergency physician with the 4005th U.S. Army Hospital, Army Reserve Medical Command, conducts a surgical consultation with a patient April 22 at the Hospital Militaire D’Instruction (Military Teaching Hospital) in N’Djamena, Chad. The patient suffered a fractured femur six months ago and it has gone untreated since. Hollingsworth advised that traction to realign the bone would be necessary before surgery could be performed. U.S. and Chadian medical teams are working together as part of a joint exercise called Medical Readiness Training Exercise 15-3 and known as MEDRETE 15-3. (U.S. Army Africa photo by Staff Sgt.
