Hello. I am the deputy director. We are here to give you the highlights of the museum. The museum was founded in as the 1862 Army Medical Museum. Our Mission Today is very much the same. It is to collect objects that preserve the legacy of american medicine. What we will show you today are highlights of the Museum Collections from the last 150 years in areas of military medicine, Human Anatomy and pathology, forensic identification, bioengineering, and a special few artifacts we have on display here. So, come along. We have moved into an exhibit on military medicine. But we start our tour today with this object, the floor of what was known as trauma bay 2 from the Theater Hospital in iraq. From 2003 until 2007, during the height of the iraq war, the Theater Hospital served as the evacuation point where american soldiers were treated before being flown to germany and the United States for the next level of care. Trauma bay two was where the worst wounded were treated. This piece of floo
From peru with the skull of a Civil War Soldier showing essentially the same type of surgical treatment. We then give the visitor a chance to see the types of tools used. At the end of the exhibit an opportunity to see the types of tools used for modern tpi rehabilitation, which includes, interestingly enough, video games and the Important Role that Service Animals play in helping tbi patients recover and go about their daily lives. So weve come to the third of the three exhibit galleries here at the medical museum and weve moved here to an exhibit on Biomedical Engineering which features this artificial kidney. The kidney here was invented by a dutch physician who developed this technology in nazi occupied holland and the first generation of this device was built using scrap parts from downed german airplanes and left over kitchen utensils. When dr. Kolf moved to the United States he developed this generation of the device and the artificial kidney we have here on display was used at

State of play there . Jim, are you following that . Well, a bit. Im not probably not as expert as some others are on this. But certainly i think youre right that the because we are two such gigantic financial markets, the opportunities in liberalization there or harmonization are tremendous. The benefits that flow from that are probably as large as anything you could think of in the entire ttip agreement that would flow from that. In the United States the reluctance on the part and i think we should be doing it. I think the reluctance in the United States is the passage of dodd franks and nobody wants its too new, nobody wants to tamper with that, nobody wants to tinker with that.

These were soldiers injured in the war, survived their injuries, were recovering at walter reed and the surgeons used these models to help plan future injuries. So learn what gone could be recovered or discarded, to plan for the prosthetic that might be used to reshape and protect that soldiers skull and then also found themselves limiting the number of surgeries and decreasing the chances of infection and haste thing the recovery of that Service Member and restoring some measure of the quality of life that they deserved. The last feature in the exhibit on innovations in military medicine focuses on walter reed, major walter reed. Walter reed who is known for his work in the
