I read about this very guy in Hal Moore's 'We were soldiers once...and young. Great book. The doctor was Robert J Carrara, and the was Arthur Viera, who survived. Again, a great book.

now that's a medic ....... I've heard of battlefield tracheostomies being performed but never thought I'd get to see one.

No anesthesia but I'm sure he's on morphine. Dude has no reflex to the knife.

No way he didn't have any painkillers. Nobody would lie there like that without flinching while someone else cuts into your throat.

I'll go for shock. Been there, done that. (Non military situation). It's a miracle that you actually wake up.

he is not moving at all..that has nothing to do with pain meds.
he was mostly paralyzed (quadriplegic) from an injury..that explains y he was not feeling any pain at all
