War Doctors: First Day

by Hien Nguyen

When Jessie Freeman is deployed to work at an American combat hospital in a major conflict zone in the Middle East, he is quickly immersed in chaos as he tries to save the lives of young recruits, special operatives and enemy combatants in a part of the world that his rich in culture and marred by constant conflict. He is pushed to exhaustion, and learns to persevere beyond mental fatigue and personal prejudices when another person’s life depends on the clarity of his mind and the steadiness of his hand. This is a story of the medical personnel in a combat hospital and how they affect the lives of those who are the casualties of battle. It is a portrayal of how it feels to save someone from imminent death and what it is like to lose the life of someone who entrusted you with it. This is a story of what it takes to be a trauma surgeon in a time of war.
