As a medical specialist, you will treat patients with eye, ear, and nose injuries. These injuries can be very sensitive to the patient. You must use extreme care when working with these patients. This course describes procedures for treating and dressing injuries to the eye, irrigating and applying medication to the eye, irrigating the ear, and treating nosebleed.

Occasional references to military terminology or combat situations do not detract from the lesson's relevance for civilian medicine and health care.
