VIETNAM. South Vietnam. Quang Ngai. This group was not recovering from surgery so, to free up scarce beds, they transferred to an outbuilding to die. The determination was made by the hospital’s solitary Spanish surgeon. There was no way he could operate on everyone; he explained with tears in his eyes, “Every morning I have to play God – deciding who will die and who I will give a chance to live.” 1967
