Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
The article "History of the Medevac — How Air Ambulances Changed War" by Will Dabbs, MD, delves into the evolution of medical evacuation (medevac) via air transport in military contexts, highlighting its significant impact on survival rates among wounded soldiers. Starting with French aviation pioneer Isidore Auguste Marie Louis Paulhan's 1915 mission to save Milan Rastislav Štefánik, it traces pivotal moments like Lt. Carter Harman’s WW2 helicopter rescue in Burma and the development of medevac practices during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The article emphasizes the lifesaving value of rapidly evacuating casualties within the "golden hour" and describes the advanced medical support provided in modern conflicts, leading to unprecedented survival rates, particularly noted during the Global War on Terror, and how these military techniques have influenced civilian medical evacuation systems.
The M*A*S*H fandom arguing about the pros and cons of the Trapper era and if it’s worth watching with the passion of the Roman senate vs the Columbo fans preparing to watch the 90’s episodes like a samurai preparing to commit ritual suicide to honor his fallen lord
Hello Margaret was completely in the right for wanting to transfer out a nurse who kept running out of surgery and she was right for caring more about the well-being of the patients than the feelings of one person.
mash is wild because it's like haha silly we rubbed chloroform on a glove to knock out a boxer and we put a fake name on a form and have to pretend this guy exists aren't we goofballs and then every once and a while hawkeye will look directly into camera and go "war is a waking nightmare that buries 10 times as many people as it saves. we are turning men into rotting meat, and to live with it? to have the blood on my hands from digging around in the intestines of a kid who isn't old enough to shave? it's more than any person should have to bear." and then they go back to like wearing a dress and winking at nurses and pranking frank or w/e.
i'm sure this is an old joke i just happened to never have heard before but when i heard this i did immediately go "did they just make a doctor who reference????"

MASH team:
they're surviving hell together and just barely keeping each other sane
Behavioural Analysis Unit:
I haven't finished Criminal Minds (which is reflected in who I consider part of the family). But I love the team as family so much. Them all hanging out at the end of an episode, is my favourite thing. When they're all hanging out at Rossi's drinking wine... I love them so much. Each character has different dynamics with each other character as well.
s10e21 Picture This is my nemesis actually because at the end there Potter paints a pretty picture of the gang when the reality is they're all squabbling and Hawkeye is only there at all because he was emotionally manipulated after his absence becomes a personal inconvenience to other people in the camp. But this is played off as: ah! the lovable scamps! They really do hate each other <3 <3 <3
Like, found family is good but it's bad but it's good by the end again because we said so, cue warm and fuzzies. It's weird to see the show embrace that kind of writing considering how they rallied against the laugh track, which is there to let you know what reaction you should be having. It's not that the laughter is bad or disrespectful, it's that if something truly funny, an audience will engage with that on their own.
