Letters from Landstuhl, Germany

Cardiologist Jerry Grodin, MD (Figure ​(Figure1),1), volunteered for the US Army Reserve soon after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. He spent a tour of duty in 2004 with the 67th Combat Support Hospital in Mosul, Iraq. More recently, Major Grodin was reactivated and sent to the US Army's Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Ramstein, Germany. He periodically writes letters to his colleagues. Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings will reprint occasional letters to inform the Baylor community of a perspective on the war and our soldiers. Dr. Grodin can be reached at jerrold.m.grodin@us.army.mil.
