Download 12, 20, & 5: A Doctor’s Year in Vietnam AudioBook Free
The candid memoir of a doctor who reluctantly allows a military payment and spends a year behind the front lines of the Vietnam Warfare. Allocated to the sea camp at Phu Bai, Dr. John A. Parrish confronted all types of medical injury, quickly shedding the navet of a new medical intern. With this memoir, he crafts a haunting, humane portrait of one man's agonizing confrontation with battle. With a wife and two children awaiting his go back home, the young physician lives through the most turbulent and formative time of his life - and sees himself shaped into a genuine doctor by the organic tragedy of the battlefield. His infinite work is punctuated only by the arrival of the next helicopter bearing more casualties, and the stark announcements: "12 litter-borne wounded, 20 ambulatory wounded, and 5 inactive."
