Baghdad er

[berry]

I don't know if anybody else has seen it on HBO. This was one of the most thought provoking and emotionally charged thing I have ever seen. I don't care what you do in health care trauma center to rural hospital to imagine the shear volume of trauma they have in and out is mind numbing. The series is gritty firsthand look at a Baghdad hospital from the medivac-->er---->or----> the floor or transfer out of country for additional services. If you can find the opportunity it is amazing. It just reaffirms the admiration I have for the man and women in service. I have many friends who worked medivac at that hospital as well as an er md who pulled a tour there, I cannot imagine sleeping at night after a year of living that day to day nightmare.

I have had a chance to see it. I also think that it is a good Idea for as many people as possible see this, it gives you a better sense of what is happening there and what OUR TROOPS are going through. I also found it interesting that many wanted to get back to their troops, they didn't want to get sent back to the states. Prayers and (((((HUGS))))) to all of OUR TROOPS. Love

i don't have HBO and missed this show. i followed the links and saw that it was on sale for 25 bux. question: is this worth it and worth several viewings? does it hold up to multiple viewings or is it something that one can only watch once? (i would like to be in the army nurse corps -- would viewing this help me solidify my decision? did they feature a lot of female nurses?)
