A doctor who provides treatment to protesters injured by the military describes the daily violence and trauma of post-coup Myanmar
A doctor who provides treatment to protesters wounded by the army and police has described a week in the turmoil of the post-coup Myanmar.
When the military coup happened, I joined a group of medics providing treatment to protesters. Every day is a risky day for us. I may be captured, I may be shot dead. We don’t have bullet-proof vests. We have only a waistcoat and a stethoscope. Our ambulance has been shot at twice before; we just had to get out and run.
