Here's an interesting story in the Middletown (NY) Times-Herald Record about Kenny MacDonald's recovery from a combat injury, with the assistance of surgeon Tom DeBarardino.
"Lt. Col. Kenny McDonald brews a pot of coffee and settles into his chair, looking squared away and slightly uncomfortable in his dining room at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He says he's feeling better. The physical therapy is going well. "My lung is at 85 percent capacity," he says, and the gash in his leg has closed.
McDonald got ripped apart in Iraq. He'll show you the scars. To rebuild him, Army medicine had to learn hard lessons from a hard war."

"The evening of the attack, a surgeon at West Point's Keller Army Hospital scanned McDonald's charts through an electronic system that connects military doctors in a global network.
The doctor, Col. Thomas DeBerardino, 44, graduated from West Point in 1985, with McDonald and McDonald's wife."
