Good day, everybody. Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Journal of Special Operations Medicines Conversations with Sam Patrick. I'm your host, Sam Patrick. This podcast is designed to sit down with some of the the heavy hitters in the world of special operations medicine, or medicine in general that may have a nexus to the the community that is trying to do good medicine in bad places and how we can potentially help those who are doing that job right now with some lessons learned or stories or whatever else that may come up. We want to thank The Honor foundation www.honor.org for helping us bring this to you guys. It's a phenomenal foundation that focuses on helping service members as they transition out and figure out what their next mission is in life. So again, if you're curious about what they do or any ways you can help or going through the program yourself, check them out@horor.org all right, today's episode, I'm super thrilled to introduce somebody that probably needs no introduct, but Dr. Frank Butler. Dr. Butler is one of the the founding fathers or creators of the concept of tactical combat casualty care that many of us have used ourselves throughout our careers since we do not have the hours upon hours upon hours to go through the complete history of tactical combat casualty care. And I encourage you to check out his book, tell them yourself, it's not your day to die, written by Frank Butler, Kevin o' Connor and Jeff Butler. You can get that on the JSOMS website if you need. The goal of this episode is to look forward and see how we can inspire the next generation of medics and providers and anybody who might be working in the special operations medical space to figure out how we can carry the torch forward. So without further ado, I'm looking forward to this conversation. I hope you are too, and we'll see you on the other side. All right, guys, well, welcome to the show. I've got Dr. Frank Butler here with us. As you've seen in the intro, he's a man who needs no introduction, but super thrilled to have you on the show today because as you know, it's the 30th anniversary year of your creation, and I'm super excited to see what we can chat about and kind of inspire the next generation to take TC3 and carry it forward for the next multiple decades to come. So welcome to the show, sir, and thank you for taking the time.

Thanks, Sam. I'm very glad to be here. We're at the point now where it is important that we capture accurately what happened with this project.

And in creating the book, I thought writing the book would be the hard part. But finding somebody that was able to publish it and wanted to handle it the way that it needed to be handled, Breakaway Media was superb in that respect. So I'm very glad to be able to give back to them a little bit.
