'A special place': A look at Walter Reed Medical Center, where President Trump is being treated

It was announced on Friday evening that "as a precautionary measure" Trump would be transferred to the facility, also known as the President's Hospital and the Nation's Medical Center. Throughout the tense weekend, the president extolled the virtues of the hospital staff, illuminating the "incredible institution."

The facility as it stands now is the combination of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center -- which opened in 1906 -- and Bethesda's National Naval Medical Center. They were merged in 2011 at the direction of Congress to form the WRNMMC, quite simply tagged "the new Walter Reed" by many others who have been forced to take up residence inside the heavily sterilized walls.

Flowers and balloons left by supporters of President Donald Trump at the entrance to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., Sunday, Oct. 4, 2020. Trump was admitted to the hospital after contracting the coronavirus. "The military nurses were consistently, always, incredible," Redman said. "Sometimes in the hospital system, a patient just becomes a number on a chart -- but the military staff never forgot we were human beings, they appreciated I was more than a slab of meat."

Jennifer Horn was just 22 when shrapnel entered her right eye, sliced through her foot, and seared the left side of her body during a mortar attack in Mosul, Iraq, in 2005."At first, in my stay, I was pretty out of it," Horn surmised. "Then I started to get to really know the others healing around me, one I am still in touch with today."

"We were given drugs as a panacea to hold us over, and because of the meds, I isolated. I did not want to be close to anybody. I would like to say that spending so much time there was uncommon, but at that time, it was not," Cutler asserted. "There were always influxes of new faces, on top of faces that had been there for months going into years. I can only hope now – for our president and our troops – that is has gotten a lot better now.
