Eric returned to Belgrade and spent the winter bringing medical aid to places where war disrupted normal supply routes. In January, Croatia was recognized as an independent country and in February, peace dawned on the horizon. Both Serbs and Croats agreed on the deployment of the second largest international peacekeeping force in history. The 12,000 U.N. peacekeepers from more than thirty nations, led by an Indian general, were to supervise a ceasefire, disarm Serb militias, and oversee the withdrawal of the Yugoslav National Army from Croatia. The operationâs command headquarters would be in the neighboring Yugoslav Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina and the troops would be known as the United Nations Protection Force or UNPROFOR. Lindsey, who stood behind us watching the scene, readied herself for the good-bye. She was not prone to histrionics and hardly ever cried. She had been so stoic throughout the visit, never once letting on how agonizing the stay had been for her, but she couldnât contain herself anymore. What I found in Bosnia was a story of individual doctors that highlighted, clarified, and personalized a war so many people outside found confusing and that offered insights into larger questions about howâregular peopleâ with no conscious desire to fight (with, in fact, a sacred pledge to sustain life) were caught up and participated in war. I chose to reconstruct a narrative from the perspective of several doctorsâBosnian Muslim, Bosnian Serb, and international from Doctors Without Bordersâwhose individual backgrounds, personalities, and beliefs led them into and out of the war zone at various times, responding in very different ways to the challenges that faced them. What linked them, besides the three-story Srebrenica Hospital building, was their confrontation, at least once, with that ultimate doctorsâ dilemmaâwhether to serve their patients or save themselves.
