Bastion radiographers make sure they are the "doctor's eyes"

An integral part of the medical staff who treat casualties on arrival at the field hospital in Camp Bastion are two military radiographers. The x-rays they provide can mean the difference between life and death. Report by Danny Chapman. The radiographers are right there in the Accident and Emergency Ward when casualties are brought into the hospital, day or night. Using a state-of-the-art portable x-ray machine they take images of the patients' wounds, often straight away, providing essential information for the clinicians and surgeons.
