3 Actors (2M, 1F) - 70 minute run time

A medic, a surgeon, and an OR nurse return from Afghanistan having all served together at the Kandahar Role 3 Hospital. When all three medical professionals experience a life changing event in the operating room, they are sent back home for further evaluation. Through Kristy, Terry and Karine's interwoven monologues we begin to understand the harrowing contribution that medical teams made in Afghanistan, as well as the devastating impact that war has on the ones charged with saving lives.
