“I chose Family Medicine because I want to be able to provide front-line, full-spectrum primary care and to serve others with a focus on compassion, solidarity, holism, and developing relationships. I have a passion for working directly with Soldiers and know continuing my medical education at Fort Bragg will allow me the opportunity to pursue a career in supporting military operations and to grow as an osteopathic physician in the military community.”

AUSTIN, Texas – The surge of patients at Adventist Health White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles after Thanksgiving reminded Wesley Willard of his deployment to Iraq in 2004. Willard, an intensive care unit nurse manager and a former Army infantry captain, said the hospital was running out of beds and ICU nurses were stretched thin. “My military training and experience in combat have definitely come to play here,” Willard said of his time in Iraq, where he managed security outside of the prison at Abu Ghraib.
Is Midstream Urine Collection Necessary?
There’s considerable evidence that the standard procedure for urine specimens, with cleansing and mid-stream collection, may not be necessary. Is it time to change?

In November 2020, I reviewed Paul Offit’s book about when doctors refuse to believe evidence. I have just become aware of another example. The evidence for diagnosing urinary tract infection (UTI) by the gold standard – clean catch mid-stream urine collection – is lacking, but it is still universally recommended. I get my medical care at Madigan Army Medical Center; the lab there instructs women to wash hands, cleanse the area with two towelettes, then to hold the labia apart and collect a midstream urine sample. Some labs even recommend removing underwear and sitting facing the back of the toilet. Is all that rigmarole really necessary?
