WVEC looks at what doctors are doing to help save the lives of soldiers. More injured are surviving this war because of better body armor, medical care closer to battle and the speed with which they’re gotten out.
Judges’ Comments:
“This long-form report succeeds where many fail. The medical content is solid and specific. ”
“Conveys the scope and logistics of the sprawling military medical base in Balad in a very clear way. Came away with a clear idea of how care is delivered every step of the way and the challenges at each step”.
“The reporting was first-rate: objective, lots of facts, no cheap sentiment, yet very moving. Gave the viewer enough space to experience a wide range of thoughts and feelings about medical care for the war’s wounded.
