...Today's combat doctors are likely wired to e-mail and cell phones. Holcomb, who now heads the Army's Institute of Surgical Research in Fort Sam Houston, Texas, says he routinely gets an e-mail "from some doctor in a tent outside Fallujah," saying a soldier has been burned in an explosion minutes before, and is being flown by helicopter to the combat hospital in Balad. An hour later, a physician in Balad calls Holcomb, saying he's putting the patient on a plane to Germany. At that point, Holcomb can dispatch a burn team to Landstuhl to bring...

Frentz, 24, woke up at the burn unit at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, confused and not a little angry. Her chest was covered with burns. The charred skin on her right arm had been scraped away, leaving her muscles showing. Her jaw would not open. There was an ugly red scar from her breast to her belly button where surgeons had opened her up twice--once in Baghdad and again at the U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, to check her lacerated liver and kidney.
