Abstract
The article discusses the author's experience as a doctor in a U.S. Navy hospital in Afghanistan. The hospital primarily treated coalition forces, Afghan soldiers, Afghan civilians, NATO civilian contractors, and detainees, each with different management plans after emergency care. The author reflects on the challenges of providing care in a war zone and the limitations of their obligations. The article also addresses criticisms of the care provided to Afghan patients and the difficulties in coordinating with NGOs. The author concludes by questioning the morality of punishing patients for the hospital's failures. [Extracted from the article]
