With stories that are at once comical and tragic, de Rond captures the surreal experience of being a doctor at war. He lifts the cover on a world rarely ever seen, let alone written about, and provides a poignant counterpoint to the archetypical, adrenaline-packed, macho tale of what it is like to go to war.</p><p>Here the crude and visceral coexist with the tender and affectionate. The author tells of well-meaning soldiers at hospital reception, there to deliver a pair of legs in the belief that these can be reattached to their comrade, now in mid-surgery; of midsummer Christmas parties and pancake breakfasts and late-night sauna sessions; of interpersonal rivalries and banter; of caring too little or too much; of tenderness and compassion fatigue; of hell and redemption; of heroism and of playing God. While many good firsthand accounts of war by frontline soldiers exist, this is one of the first books ever to bring to life the experience of the surgical teams tasked with mending what war destroys.</p>...3391410Doctors at War202213https://www.gandhi.com.mx/doctors-at-war-9781501707933/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2703385/5b842e1f-3dd6-44f8-9e90-681b031005e8.jpg?v=638384337653130000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20179781501707933_W3siaWQiOiJhMmNiYzk4OC0xOWMyLTQyMDMtYWE4Yi1hZTkxZTAxNTMwNWQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIxMywiZGlzY291bnQiOjExLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIwMiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDgtMjVUMTk6MDA6MDBaIiwidG8iOiIyMDI1LTA5LTMwVDIzOjU5OjU5WiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9LHsiaWQiOiI2M2UzZDc4MS1jYzE5LTRlMzItOTlhZC02NDZmNjU5ZGI0ZDUiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIwNSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjEwLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjE5NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMTAtMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781501707933_<p><em>Doctors at War</em> is a candid account of a trauma surgical team based, for a tour of duty, at a field hospital in Helmand, Afghanistan.
