U.S. Air Force Maj. (Dr.) John Powell, from Somerset, Ky., hits an artery as he removes an unsalvable finger on the patients left hand. Though the patient was in a soft-sided vehicle when hit by a road side bomb, thanks to the forward surgical team the lost finger will be his only long-term injury.
