Baghdad ER

Rachel and I watched Baghdad ER - An HBO Documentary Film last month. As the name suggests, it’s an HBO documentary about a military emergency room in Baghdad, Iraq. It’s pretty graphic, has nudity and bad language… War is like that.

One of our guest lecturers in my military chaplaincy class was a chaplain who served in a Baghdad ER. His stories and photos were a lot more graphic than HBO… He spoke of telling a soldier he was going to die and letting him borrow his cell phone to call home… all while we looked at a photo of his fatal injury on the big screen in front of us.

The young men and women who work in these hospital see things humans weren’t meant to see… over and over and over.

They need chaplains.
