A new leg to stand on
Maj. (Dr.) Michael Charlton and Capt. Michael Raethka check a rod against the leg of a patient prior to boring out the center to make a canal for the permanent rod July 7 at Joint Base Balad, Iraq. The rod will stabilize the leg and help with healing. The patient should regain the ability to walk. Doctor Charlton is a 332nd Expeditionary Medical Operations Squadron orthopedic trauma surgeon deployed from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. Captain Raethka is a 332nd EMDOS physician's assistant deployed from Travis Air Force Base, Calif. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Julianne Showalter)
