Reply to TIL Crush Syndrome happens when the human body experiences severe skeletal muscle trauma under constant pressure for a long time resulting in shock and kidney failure; an example is a human trapped under a building in an earthquake. by ChiggaOG
If I'm not mistaken the damage can be mitigated if the patient can be put on dialysis. But that's a lot of dialysis machines that need to be available, not to mention the electricity to run them, staff, etc.

Years ago I ran into the little brother of a friend of mine. He was wrenching for GDLS. When the LAVs came back off lease they got to build concept vehicles with them. Like tinker toy tanks.
One had a HIAB on the side that loaded pre stocked "modules " into the hollowed out rear section. The idea was you could load a machine shop, or a medical bay, etc. Not nearly functional, but concept mind you.
That was easily 20 years ago, and just the other day my wife sent me a picture out her office window of an LAV swim testing in the harbour with a HIAB arm.
