Summary
On Call in Hell is a firsthand account by Navy surgeon Richard Jadick of his experiences providing medical care during the Second Battle of Fallujah in 2004. The book chronicles how Jadick moved his aid station to the front lines, a controversial decision that allowed him to treat wounded Marines within minutes of injury rather than waiting for evacuation. His actions are credited with saving numerous lives during one of the Iraq War's bloodiest urban battles. The memoir offers an intense look at combat medicine and the life-or-death decisions made under extreme conditions.
