Tonight we begin a series on the treatment of the U.S. troops wounded in the Iraq war. In addition to the broadcast report, I wrote an article for the Health Section of MSNBC.com describing the overall medical care system in Iraq, and I blogged while on assignment and shooting this material. So I won’t write much more here today. But I want to take a little space to thank the people who traveled with me to Iraq. They take the risks and don’t get the credit I do. Craig White was the photographer, Susan Becerra did the sound and engineering, and Kevin Monahan was the field producer. Jane Derenowski and Maggie Kassner did not go to Iraq, but did a terrific job of editing in New York, as did M.L. Flynn, the senior producer. Thanks to these colleagues for helping me tell the story of the brave men and women who are so dedicated to treating the wounded soldiers of this war.

Honoring a hero
As I sit here in my nice cozy home with 3 of my 4 children chattering all around me, I'm half listening to the news when I hear the news say something about our soldiers having to save the life of an insurgent in the hospital when they had threatened the life of US soldiers. I tune my hearing into what is being said on the news to see what had to be said about this.
I have to say I haven't seen a story that has really moved me like this one did. When that soldier said "A human life is a human life, Sir." I was shocked completely still. Had I heard that soldier right?
Wow!!! I have to say bravo to all our soldiers over in Iraq. They are willing to give blood, and save the life of a person who is trying to kill their fellow soldier without a second thought. That right there shows that their not over there just to kill but in fact there to help. Why can't the Iraqis see this? Why can't they see that our men are only there to make their lives half as good as ours? Thank you so much for sharing that with all of us and making me at least realize how wonderful our soldiers really are.

I wanted to comment on this news piece. I am glad to see that the medical staff are finally being recognized. They do a tremendous job and definately deserve to be mentioned. Being a former Air Force medic and also the wife of a 17+ year Air Force medic, who is currently deployed, I know the long hours and sleepless nights. Thanks for giving these wonderful caring people a few minutes. As always, keep up the great work and moving stories.

Thank you for sharing this great story about how doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals in the service are caring for our wounded soldiers in Iraq. As a registered nurse myself, I was enlightened to see these brave individuals and how they deliver care in a time of war. These men and women in Iraq definitely deserve the best care and technology available to help them recover. It would be great to hear more stories like this.
