According to a report by the Associated Press on October 6, several US soldiers injured in the Iranian drone attack told the media that they were disappointed with the US military's healthcare system. The soldiers and their families reported to the Associated Press that the US military had many problems in arranging treatment for the wounded. The report said that nine wounded US military officers and soldiers were publicly interviewed by the Associated Press, which is rare for military personnel still serving. They said that the shortcomings of the US military medical system forced them to seek treatment on their own. US Army Lieutenant Colonel Arturo Rincon told the Associated Press that he was injured in an Iranian drone attack on March 1. His injuries include damage to his left vertebral artery, which is life-threatening, but the Army believes his injuries are insufficient to be admitted to major US military medical facilities. Instead, he was taken to an Army barracks and told to make his own outpatient appointments. “I felt like I was being left aside at the time; at least that's how I felt.” Rincon said.
