Abstract

The deployment of Australian Military personnel in support of the United Nations Aid Mission in Rwanda (UNAMIR II) in August 1994 represented the first large contingent of Australian medical personnel since the Vietnam War. A kaleidoscope of emotions filled the minds of many deploying personnel before, during and after the deployment. Yet through this turmoil, there were many valued lessons learned. For many, it was a reality check--a return to the basics of life. This article is a personal account of the experience of an intensive care nurse working in a third-world country performing first-world medicine.

摘要

1994年8月，澳大利亚军事人员被部署去支持联合国卢旺达援助团（联卢援助团二期），这是自越南战争以来澳大利亚首次派遣大批医疗人员。在部署前、部署期间和部署后，许多即将部署的人员心中充满了各种各样的情绪。然而，在这场动荡中，人们吸取了许多宝贵的经验教训。对许多人来说，这是一次现实的检验——回归到生活的基本层面。本文是一名重症监护护士在第三世界国家施行一流医疗服务的个人经历。
