{"product_id":"war-doctor-surgery-on-the-front-line","title":"War Doctor: Surgery on the Front Line","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor more than twenty-five years  David Nott has taken unpaid leave from his job as a general and vascular surgeon with the NHS to volunteer in some of the worlds most dangerous war zones. From Sarajevo under siege in 1993  to clandestine hospitals in rebel-held eastern Aleppo  he has carried out life-saving operations and field surgery in the most challenging conditions  and with none of the resources of a major London teaching hospital. The conflicts he has worked in form a chronology of twenty-first-century combat: Afghanistan  Sierra Leone  Liberia  Darfur  Congo  Iraq  Yemen  Libya  Gaza and Syria. But he has also volunteered in areas blighted by natural disasters  such as the earthquakes in Haiti and Nepal. Driven both by compassion and passion  the desire to help others and the thrill of extreme personal danger  he is now widely acknowledged to be the most experienced trauma surgeon in the world. But as time went on  David Nott began to realize that flying into a catastrophe  whether war or natural disaster  was not enough. Doctors on the ground needed to learn how to treat the appalling injuries that war inflicts upon its victims. Since 2015  the foundation he set up with his wife  Elly  has disseminated the knowledge he has gained  training other doctors in the art of saving lives threatened by bombs and bullets. War Doctor is his extraordinary story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44963209904181,"sku":"ByrdShop_1509837027","price":29.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781509837021.jpg?v=1770408849","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/war-doctor-surgery-on-the-front-line","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
