Baghdad ER
As an opponent of the Iraqi war and a medical student I was immediately interested in the HBO Documentary, Baghdad ER. However, this is not a documentary for opponents of the war and individuals in the medical field, everyone must see it.
The final scene was of a marine who had been shot in the chest during combat. The EMTs and the vascular surgeon were able to stabilize and repair the patient’s pulmonary artery, but in the end he succumbed to his injuries and died.
I could write more about how powerful Baghdad ER was and how courageous the soldiers and medical workers were, but it does not do this film the credit it deserves.
Jon Alpert and Matthew O’Neill directed this amazing documentary and for the schedule of its airings go to www.hbo.com.
As of the airing of this film 17,381 soldiers have been injured and 2,346 have died since the military operations in Iraq began in March of 2003.
