Late today I  learned that some persons (not the trauma network, nor those 
nurses and doctors  who have been working hard the last 36 hours) have arranged 
for a DMAT  "Military" hospital to be brought to Houston and set up 
independent of any  existing hospital and taking care of minor, primary care, and non 
critical  trauma patients.    I have no idea how the efforts and record  keeping 
of these outside persons, invited for political or preconceived untested  
concepts of those physicians working directly in the emergency rooms that these  
outside military hospitals are being brought in to  "protect.       

I obviously did not make my concern as to "What is the problem for which  
this outside group is the solution?"  forceful enough.   I wonder  if this would 
have been attempted in a non-election  year?     So.....as best I can, I will 
try to scientifically  assess the impact, and outcome of this outside group.   

I would be interested to learn from others with experience on this  list.     
Have I protested too loudly and just what  experiences have others had during 
other disasters with these many different  named outside groups?
