Deployed lab workers: bloodline of military forces

BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq -- Staff Sgt. Myreen Bueno, 332nd Expeditionary Medical Group lab technician, prepares blood units to be administered to a trauma patient in the emergency room at the Air Force Theater Hospital here, April 15. When trauma patients are brought to the hospital, the lab technicians work beside the doctors receiving them to learn the patients' blood types and assess how much blood they may need. Within five minutes of taking a sample, the technicians are able to begin the process of gathering the correct blood products for the doctors to administer. Sergeant Bueno is deployed from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Senior Airman Julianne Showalter)
