Description
English: TRAILER TOWN, Iraq (July 31, 2008) – Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class LaSahon P. Washington, corpsman with 2nd Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, palpates the abdomen of an Iraqi child during a cooperative medical engagement here, July 31. “It’s worth all the effort when we actually help someone who really needs it,” said Washington. Three corpsmen from 2nd LAAD and 1st Supply Battalion (-) (REINFORCED), 1st MLG, assisted in triage, assessing patients and prescribing medications. Chest pain, abdominal pain, headache and sore throat were some of the most common complaints. “The care my son and I received was excellent,” said Salam A. Khalfa, a local resident. “Before, we didn’t have any medical care, but now that we were visited by the Navy and Marines, we have medicines to take care of our families.” Health care and medical supplies were distributed to the locals. Preventative care and medicines were a major part of the engagement. Iraqi Police, along with Marines with Bravo Battery, 2nd LAAD Bn., provided security for the mission. Sixty-five Iraqis were seen during the visit, 55 percent of those patients were pediatric, 35 percent were adult males and 10 percent were adult females. This engagement was a continuation of a CME in Kabani which helped more than 130 Iraqis. In all, approximately 200 Iraqis were treated. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Robert C. Medina)
