Parrish confronted all manner of medical trauma, quickly shedding the naïveté of a new medical intern. With this memoir, he crafts a haunting, humane portrait of one man’s agonizing confrontation with war. With a wife and two children awaiting his return home, the young physician lives through the most turbulent and formative year of his life—and finds himself molded into a true doctor by the raw tragedy of the battlefield. His endless work is punctuated only by the arrival of the next helicopter bearing more casualties, and the stark announcements: “12 litter-borne wounded, 20 ambulatory wounded, and 5 dead.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e12, 20 \u0026amp; 5\u003c\/i\u003e is an intimate and unique look at the effects of war that \u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e calls “an autobiographical \u003ci\u003eM*A*S*H*\u003c\/i\u003e . . . phenomenal.”\u003cbr\u003e   ","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180123111664,"sku":"9781480437883","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781480437883_p0.jpg?v=1769893928","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781480437883","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
