12 hours (recurring): Working for Médecins Sans Frontières in the DR Congo
No full text Marc Bullock describes an intense six-week period that he spent as a surgeon attached to Médecins Sans Frontières in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The working environment and the exotic cases he encountered, partly a reflection on the violence that dominates the region, are bound to have had a profound personal and professional impact. I would imagine that this report will inspire some trainees to seek a similar experience. </jats:p

Review of \u3ci\u3eSeth Bullock: Black Hills Lawman\u3c/i\u3e by David A. Wolff
No full textIn this short biography of Seth Bullock, the first sheriff of Deadwood, South Dakota, David A. Wolff challenges a few of the myths surrounding a former frontier icon. Bullock did not in fact clean up Deadwood, Wolff concludes, nor did he single-handedly prevent skirmishes with nearby Lakotas.

This biography also works as a short history of Deadwood itself. Wolff details the numerous challenges facing the town in its early years, including devastating fires and flooding, banking and mining failures, and its competition for the railroad
