That is balanced against his skill as a trauma\nsurgeon. He can look at a wounded crew member, take a quick look at\nvital signs and immediately determine whether the wounded person can\nsurvive or not. I&#8217;m a psychiatrist, trained in PTSD, but am also a\nmedical doctor and when I check Jameson&#8217;s work it never seems to be\nwrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Day 6 Day 346 after the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Admiral Lawson vlog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cThe entire CIC crew took time\nhelping out the deck gang.

Worked well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Sick bay: Doctor Farragut writes in her\ndiary. \u201cHundred and ninety casualties came in after Jump seven. Ten\nof them came in DOA. The rest, we managed to save, stabilize and\ntransfer out patients to a medical ship with long range jump\ncapability. Jameson is a dedicated doctor. He threatened to castrate\nthe civilian medical personnel if any patients died on the way back\nto a civilian hospital. He is a bastard, but he fights like a lion\nfor his patients. That mitigates a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Lawson Anabasis day 7   HD 1080p\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pMYY_pLeUhI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Day 8 Day 348 after the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Admiral Lawson vlog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cLost 12 pilots today, another dozen\nwounded.
