摘要
DURING WORLD WAR II, many doctors joined the military after completing their medical training. Civilian careers were put on hold until after the war was over. In 1942, Eben Alexander, Jr., joined the Air Force, then the United States Army, and served 4 years, much of it overseas, as a "3131C" neurosurgeon.
