When Dr. Gerry Bashein arrived in Liberia for his first assignment with Doctors Without Borders, the country was still reeling from a 15-year civil war. The hospital where he worked had been a school before the conflict. Classrooms had quickly been transformed into patient wards. Blackboards still hung on the walls.
Dr. Bashein was the anesthesiologist on the surgical team—and he was far outside his comfort zone. Still, in surgery after surgery, he witnessed firsthand why this work matters. He saved lives. And, when the assignment was over, he knew he had to go back.
More than a decade later, Dr. Bashein has completed 15 assignments with Doctors Without Borders. He’s had an operating-room view of conflict—providing care to victims of trauma in Syria and Jordan. This is his story.
