Standing in a surgical theatre located in the Rutbah General Hospital in Rutbah, Iraq, July 2, Dr. Dhea Mijwal Shami Maadahidi, the surgeon and manager of the hospital, shows the transformation of the hospital from being highly damaged during combat to being up and running now. For his first five years at the hospital, Dhea was operating as the only doctor with others occasionally coming and going to assist him. He has treated sicknesses ranging from common colds to fatal diseases without hesitation. The hospital now has seven doctors and treats hundreds of patients a day.::r::::n::
