Lieutenant General James Gordon Roudebush

Decent Essays
The seminar I attended was that of Lieutenant General James Gordon Roudebush. He was the nineteenth Surgeon General of the United States Air Force. James is a native to Gering, Nebraska. Later, he then received his bachelor’s of Medicine degree from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln and a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Nebraska College of Medicine. After receiving these he entered into the Air Force. During his seminar, Lieutenant General James Gordon Roudebush talked about the aspect of Military medicine and what the difference is between it and the normal US medicine. I learned that there is no true difference between the two, except for a slightly different focus due to their different environments where it is implemented.

    Since the completion of Fort Belvoir Community Hospital on a 1.2 million square feet location in Virginia in 2011, the facility has been competing not only for the Department of Defense fund for Military Treatment Facility in the region but also for patronage of service members.

    I was given the book “Lemay: The Life and Wars of General Curtis Lemay” as a birthday present in October. Before reading this book, I knew nothing about Curtis Lemay.

    Now, there might not be a problem with the physician, maybe there is no sign of an internal sickness and the illness doesn’t show up until the time of war, and they could die that way. This may not be the only cause for disease, it could be because of the amount of the cluster of people around the soldiers. Being in a small closed off camp for a long period of time, disease and sickness can spread extremely fast.
