The Pitfalls of Being a Doctor in Baghdad IRAQ

Troubling documentary by VICE News. It's both dangerous and disheartening being a medical doctor in this city.

Small wonder that many doctors have left the country, or gone to Erbil.
Infant mortality in Iraq, and Baghdad (a symbol of a nation's medical coverage) is low, as low as a 3rd world country.
