Items related to Six Months in Sudan: A Young Doctor in a War-torn Village
Synopsis
Dr. James Maskalyk returned last year from Sudan where he was the first official blogger for Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders. He wrote about his life on assignment in Abyei, a town near the Darfur region of Sudan, where he spent almost six months tending patients at great personal risk. In Six Months in Sudan, Maskalyk weaves these daily journal entries into a moving and beautifully written memoir of his time with MSF. It is an extraordinary book which explains what it’s like to try to keep disease, violence, terror and despair at bay while administering front-line care in one of the most dangerous and desperate places on earth.

Paperback. Condition: USED_VERYGOOD. An outstanding account of saving lives in one of the most dangerous and desperate places on Earth. James Maskalyk set out for the contested border town of Abyei, Sudan in 2007 as Medicins Sans Frontieres' newest medical doctor in the field. Equipped with his experience as an emergency physician in a Western hospital and his desire to understand the hardest parts of the world, Maskalyk's days were spent treating malnourished children, fending off a measles epidemic and staying out of the soldiers' way. Worn raw in the struggle to meet overwhelming needs with inadequate resource, he returned hom six months later more affected by the experience, the people and the place than he had anticipated. Six Months in Sudan began as a blog that he wrote from his hut in Sudan in an attempt to bring his family and friends closer to his hot, hot days. It is a story about humans: the people of Abyei who suffer its hardship because it is their home, and the doctors, nurses and countless volunteers who leave their homes with the tools to make another's easier to endure. With great hope and insight, Maskalyk illuminates a distant place - its heat, its people, its poverty, its war - to inspire possibilities for action. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001746135
