2D Surgical Hospital

By: Lorna Griess

Narrated by: Mandy Kaplan

This book is about living and working in a mobile army surgical hospital (MASH) in South Vietnam. It talks about the hospital itself, the setting, how we lived, how we coped with less-than-good circumstances, the type of patients we received, the equipment we worked with and the emotional highs and lows that were part of every day. The stories are true. Some of the dates and numbers of things may be off a little; that was a long time ago. Names have not been used to protect the wonderful, dedicated people with whom I worked and lived with.

Refreshing perspective on Vietnam War, a must listen for any enthusiast

Thanks to Lorna for bringing us a perspective that’s largely unheard of. The detailed descriptions of each events and individual’s mental state combine with actual medical explanation of several injuries the soldiers encountered and drugs that has been administered. There isn’t glamorous exaggeration nor distortion of facts. Everything feels very genuine and is very easy to follow through. It’s an eye opener and a must listen to any enthusiast.
