Battlefield Medical Services

These are a series of videos form a Nova special called "Life and
Death in the War Zone" that highlight the operations of battlefield medical services form the Iraqi Conflict.  Originally filmed in 2003, I first came upon this from a Professor that I took classes from that was stationed at the facilities and spoke about the dedication of those who serve in the medical services.  I really enjoyed this video and hope you do too.
