Healing the wounds of freedom

Doctors drill into the legs of an Afghan patient during a surgery at the Craig-Joint Theater Hospital, June 10, 2016, Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. In an effort to save the patient’s leg, suffering from a bullet wound, surgeons have placed a flap of skin procured from the backside of her legs over the wound to prevent infection and promote healing.
