Caring for patients from conflict zones

Salon  

In recent months, I’ve taken a growing interest in reading the accounts of health care workers from conflict zones, areas of the world caught in a crossfire of warring factions, where men, women, and children bear the collateral damage wrought by bombs and bullets. Health care workers’ harrowing stories are some of the most unvarnished ones we have to hear, and as a physician myself, I take them in with equal measures of inspiration and disbelief. Related Health care workers in Gaza ask why the international community ignores their suffering I work in a clinic in Toronto that largely serves patients who are newcomers to our country, many of whom are seeking asylum. The specter of armed conflict inflicts damages on people beyond the litany of physical wounds that need tending.
