Synopsis:

At age thirty-eight, Navy Dr. Richard Jadick was too old to be called up to the front lines-but not too old to volunteer. This is the inspiring story of one man's decision to enter into the fray-and a compelling account of courage under fire. Both wrenching and uplifting, On Call in Hell is a portrayal of brothers-in-arms that few will be able to forget. Awarded a Bronze Star with a Combat V for valor, Jadick has become a modern American legend-and a true American hero.

About the Author: Cmdr. Richard Jadick is a U.S. Navy surgeon and is the most decorated doctor of the Iraq War, having developed a battlefield medic camp to treat wounded Marines and sailors with lifesaving immediacy. It is believed Jadick's smart thinking saved the lives of at least 30 Marines and sailors wounded during the Second Battle of Fallujah. Currently he is a resident in Urology at the Medical College of Georgia.
