Dr. Peter Cochrane: An Unsung Hero
When American troops are injured in the war in Iraq, there’s a team of doctors ready to treat them. In 2007, a Chippewa Falls surgeon was among that specialized group. Posted: 4:15 PM Jun 25, 2008Reporter: Meghan Kulig Email Address: meghan.kulig@weau.com |

I dont think he meant for it to come out like that.He is an excellent surgeon and I it's remarkable he was able to help American Troops & Iraqi citizens & children. I am sure the care he gave to the Iraqis was EXCELLENT & the same level of care that he provides all his patients and it clearly doesn't matter what their nationality was.their are many Americans with different nationalities. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to care for an Iraqi knowing that some were responsible(as some were innocent) for our American Soldiers deaths and injuries. Just curious, who would you want saved your daughter or the Iraqi lying in the bed next to your daughter responsible for your daughters injuries. Saving lives over there or in the US in no different for Doctors. they save the lives of those who are in need regardless. Make sure you VOTE so no more Americans and Iraqis are in harms way!!
I find the doctor's comments that it was easier to deal with the injuries of those who weren't Americans a little unsettling. The injured folks he dealt with were fathers, mothers, sons and daughters of someone; human lives are human lives regardless of their nationality. The present administration's decision to send our troops over to Iraq in the first place put many people in harm's way, both Americans and Iraqis.
