Dr. Nabil is a surgeon in Baghdad and has stayed to help victims of explosions, kidnappings, and other circumstances during the war of Iraq. Many other doctors have left, for fear of assasination, but Dr. Nabil works through the fear and other setbacks onset by the war in Iraq. Not only is he a surgeon, but he’s also a father, a son, a literary magazine author, and a brave, kind Iraqi man, and is determined to continue being so, despite the war around him.
