Baghdad ER

Post by Tyek »

HBO is showing this special on May 21st. It does not matter whatever side of the war you are on, this should be watched by all to see the tragic toll war takes on all the people involved.


I put this on the CE section so more people would see it. If the mods want to move it, I understand.

Or you could check out Salam Ishmael's papers on what it's actually like being a doctor in Iraq.

I wonder if this show will be accurate or just a money making/propoganda project attempt under the guise pseudo education.

Yeah it happens Nick, but I will tell you one thing. Stragi was right, it is creepy when someone stalks people after virtually every post.

Just a non-flaming point of info: HBO isn't exactly known for their "money making/propoganda project attempt under the guise pseudo education" endeavors.

I think that this documentary is supposed to be a pretty honest portrayal of what it's like to be a doctor in Iraq.

If it makes you rethink your opnion of it, one of the higher-ups in the Army or Marines made a comment that people might not want to watch this. The official position being (sort of?) against the documentary leads me to believe that it's probably a pretty accurate account of what it's like to be a doctor over there.

Call me cynical.

The story I read was that they didn't think troops that returned home would want to watch it since it could trigger post-traumatic stress issues.

I heard both the returning troops as well as Joe Sixpack, but perhaps it was taken out of context.
