For those of you at home with a little time and a keen interest in the state of medicine in Iraq, I fully recommend HBO's "Baghdad Hospital". This movie was filmed inside a civilian hospital in the Baghdad area by an Iraqi physician and show the startling and sad state of affairs that Iraqi medicine has become since the invasion. For those that have never deployed, it is a good look at life in Iraq, and for those that have, it is a solemn reminder of why we are there. HBO also did a piece called "Baghdad ER" that was about military medicine in the Baghdad region that was excellent but may hit a little too close to home for some of the recently deployed Docs, at least it did for me. Regardless, they are both great works and are free if you have HBO.
