Article Synopsis
- Military physicians in resource-limited settings, especially abroad, must assess the need for aeromedical evacuation while also providing immediate care for various medical issues without relying on evacuation.
- A case involving a 26-year-old woman who accidentally injured her nipple stud at a military base in Egypt illustrates the challenges faced, including a bacterial infection that was treated effectively with antibiotics.
- The treatment involved using adhesive strips to hold the tissue in place, resulting in a well-healed scar, and the report emphasizes the need for further research on such rare injuries in challenging environments.
