One picture is of a nurse at the hospital that looks like Omar Sharif. The other is a brother of a paraplegic patient who basically stayed at his side and helped care for him for 2 months. I think he looks like an Afghan Russel Crowe.
The hospital had a short visit from a "big cheese" (gran formaggio)from Italy, the surgeon general of the Italian Esercito, or army. Italy is in charge of the training of Afghan troops in western Afghanistan and has overall administrative responsibility for the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). Our hospital is used as an example of a project that is succeeding.

Are any of your medical colleagues Italian?
The mentoring team for the hospital are all US Navy. The Italians and Spanish on our base mentor the medics and docs at the clinics provided to the soldiers. We see each other and have given them tours of the hospital. One of the Italian docs is a plastic surgeon and has done skin grafting and cosmesis procedures as a benefit to the patients and to teach the ANA surgeons.
