Monday, October 21, 2002 And now I am stuck watching a marvelously fascinating documentary on Channel 13 about an Emergency Hospital in Afghanistan ... I guess I'll sleep some other day. The documentary, according to my online TV guide is: "Afghanistan Year 1380" follows surgeon Gino Strada and medical coordinator Kate Rowlands as they treat victims of the fighting in Afghanistan in the fall of 2001. Their Kabul hospital had been shut down by the Taliban, and as the film opens, they're operating in the town of Anabah, controlled by the Northern Alliance, where they treat both fighters and children ("and when the planes bombed my father died," says one boy). But when the Taliban falls they head back to Kabul---as bombs fall around them---to reopen their hospital. Among their patients: injured Taliban fighters. 2:49 AM
