Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders 2008

Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders Poster    Emergency medical care under extreme conditions in Liberia and Congo.  Four volunteers with Doctors Without Borders, each with different levels of experience, each facing the challenges of limited supplies, limited equipment and tough choices.
    This is interesting, each doctor comes with their own personalities, strengths and weeknesses.  The first patients that die are hard to take, making a proper diagnosis is sometimes guess work, elimination of options and trying to do no harm in the process.  There is a combination of patients, those coming in with war injuries and local people needing emergency or routine medical care.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie.

93 min, Doc directed by Mark N. Hopkins with Chris Brasher, Davinder Gill, Tom Krueger, Chiara Lepora.

Note:  Not listed on Blockbuster, imdb 8.4 out of 10, 93% critic 77% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
