Baghdad ER is a documentary released by HBO on May 21, 2006. It shows the Iraq War from the perspective of a military hospital in Baghdad. It has some relatively disturbing scenes in it (e.g. amputations), therefore the U.S. Army is officially warning that military personnel watching it could experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).[https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5418289 Documenting Life and Death in 'Baghdad ER' : NPR][http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/05/17/1510218 Democracy Now! | Baghdad ER: Documentary On US Military Hospital in Iraq Gets Cold Reception From Army]
