Neurology in a combat zone: Viet Nam 1966.
I summarize my experience as the first neurologist serving the US Forces in Viet Nam, 24 December, 1965 to 18 November, 1966. Stationed at the 93rd Evacuation Hospital in Long Binh, and working with a KO (neuro-psychiatric) team, I saw a wide variety of patients under conditions unique for a neurologist.
