Neurosurgeon removes live round from soldier's head

MAJ John Bini, an Air Force neurosurgeon is featured in a recent story in NavyTimes. Bini was described as surgically removing an unexploded round from an Afghan National Army soldier's head. A CT scan showing the patient's skull and round is also featured in the article!

Bini had the operating room evacuated; the surrounding hallways were secured, and he and anesthesiologist, Maj. Jeffrey Rengel, put on body armor for the surgery. Bini and Rengel were joined in the operating room by a member of a bomb disposal team. And after Bini removed the round from the patient’s head, the bomb technicians took it away.

Comment: Very nice. Let's hope MAJ Bini is awarded an Air Force Achievement Medal or similar for this!
