Real-life M*A*S*H on 'Nova'

Here's advance notice of a public television program worth watching. The PBS series "Nova" looks at two Army medical units deployed to the Middle East at the beginning of the war with Iraq in "Life and Death in the War Zone."

The press release describes medical personnel "beset by constant ethical dilemmas that pit the teams’ commitment to treat the injured Iraqis against the messy realities of war and in which chance and bureaucratic policy often decide who lives and who dies."
