Surgery, with the added stress of war:
Surgeons are conducting operations with sirens sounding every few minutes, sometimes followed by a dull or heavy thud, depending on how close a missile lands.Patients recovering from surgery or those on ventilators cannot be moved to the hospital’s bomb shelters quickly enough, and medics invariably have to stay with them.

I can’t imagine working in the conditions in Haifa or the American University Beirut Hospital that usually remaines open (and historically untouched during conflicts). Unfortunately, I have good friends who are physicians on both sides of the border. We used to joke about how stressful July is for new interns. This is something quite different.
