Rotations

**Warning: this episode contains graphic and explicit descriptions of war. Content may be disturbing for some listeners.**

Practice of Medicine: In the first segment of a two-part series, we speak with Dr. John Kahler, a pediatrician awarded 2016 Chicagoan of the Year for his work overseas. He joins us from Chicago via Skype to discuss his medical mission work in Syria. We discuss why he became interested in mission work, how a physician can provide care in “cave” hospitals, and how he was able to fight the hopelessness of war. Additional resources mentioned in the interview are listed below and on our website. Thank you to Sam Long and Aaron Stover for being our SPOTS (Special People Off The Street).

This show was produced by Todd Fredricks, hosted by Nisarg Bakshi, engineered by Kyle P. Snyder and edited by Brian Plow.
