16. This man's right leg was amputated. As part of the healing process, the dressings on his wound needed to be changed regularly. Doctors failed to do so.
17. When his wounds were cleaned, it was in an unsterile environment, with the patient's family members touching the wound with ungloved hands. Doctors also re-used medical equipment, citing insufficient sterilization supplies.
18. Doctors never gave this patient pain medication.
19. Another man's amputated leg was cleaned in the same room, which was not cleaned between patients. The hospital went without cleaning supplies for five months.
21. This man was the victim of an IED detonation. His left eye had to be removed.
22. He remained in the National Military Hospital for three and a half months after being admitted into the wrong department.
23. An eye globe prosthesis was inserted in place of his missing eye. It was positioned incorrectly for three months.
24. The eye socket then became severely infected.
25. This man was shot in the abdomen in Kandahar, a southern province in Afghanistan.
26. He was originally treated in one of Afghanistan's regional hospitals, then transferred to the National Military Hospital.
27. His wounds remained uncovered for three hours each day, leaving them to be exposed to sunlight and flies.
28. When nurses cleaned the man's deep wounds, they did so without administering pain medication.
29. The patient was not placed on antibiotics.
30. This 16-year-old was admitted to the NMH a few days after he underwent intestinal surgery to repair his duodenum. He also had a leg injury.
31. When doctors did their rounds, they noted that the boy was in good condition with strong vitals.
32. A mentor removed a dressing on the boy's leg, revealing inches of bone exposed through the patient's skin. Orthopedics would not treat him because they didn't have sufficient beds.
