That's disappointing to here.
Personally, I feel I've received some good quality basic medical training and while I haven't had to treat anyone in combat, I have been first responder on a number of occasions.
I have to admit that what scared me FAR more than jumping out of airplanes(especially for the first time) and dealing with a few naughty armed people, was dealing with a motorcycle accident victim with a tension pneumothorax.
Real live patients are a lot different than the training simulators I've used.
Without having the opportunity for live tissue training, I think I got a tiny slice of why it's probably so important.
