STORYLINE Injured CBS correspondent Kimberly Dozier arrived early on Tuesday at Ramstein Air Base in Germany on a US military flight from Iraq. She was transferred by ambulance to Landstuhl Regional Medical centre, where she will be treated for injuries suffered in a roadside bombing in Baghdad on Monday, officials at the US airbase said. Colonel W Bryan Gamble, Commander of Landstuhl Regional Medical Centre, said during a news briefing on Tuesday, Ms Dozier and another solider critically injured in the same blast were checked over from "head to toe" by "trauma surgeons critical care specialists," on arrival. Her vital signs were stable, but Gamble pointed to the seriousness of Dozier's injuries. "Ms Dozier came, with all vital signs stable. She is critically wounded as you know from the IED blast yesterday but right now she is doing as well as can be expected," he said. Dozier will probably undergo more surgery to reassess her condition, Gamble told reporters during the news conference. "Typically most wounded individuals will undergo another surgery or two every 24 - 48 hours. This is what we call washout procedure, where we re-examine their wounds, if any tissue needs to be cleaned we will clean it, and reassess the vitality of the tissue, but this is pretty typical." Dozier, along with cameraman Paul Douglas, 48, and soundman James Brolan,42, were travelling in a US military convoy working on a story about American troops in Iraq on Memorial Day, when a car bomb exploded. Douglas and Brolan, both British citizens, were killed in the blast. Before her flight, Dozier, a 39-year-old US citizen, underwent two surgeries at a military hospital in Baghdad for injuries from the bombing, CBS said. By early Tuesday, doctors had removed shrapnel from Dozier's head but said she had more serious injuries to her lower body, CBS News reported on its Web site.
