First Lieutenant Kristen Hyer First Lieutenant Kristen Hyer First Lieutenant Kristen Hyer returned to the United States from Operation Iraqi Freedom in February. She is the daughter of Val and Judy Hyer of Huntsville. Kristen grew up in Huntsville, graduating from Weber High School. She received her Bachelor’s of Nursing from Weber State University. She was the first nursing student to graduate from the Army ROTC program at Weber State University. She received the George C. Marshall Award for outstanding cadet. She joined the Army after graduation and is part of the 28th Combat Support Hospital in Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. She is a Critical Care Nurse. She was deployed in July 2003. She was at Camp Dogwood, a field hospital located west of Baghdad. It was a modern tent hospital (similar to what is seen on MASH on TV) on a patch of dirt. In September 2003, the army moved the unit into one of Saddam Hussein’s former Baghdad hospitals. The Ibn Sina Hospital, formerly referred to by Iraqis as Saddam’s hospital, is located in the green zone, a secure sector of downtown Baghdad. It was previously used to serve Saddam Hussein, his family, and the Baathist-elite. The 78bed hospital provides medical services for the majority of U.S. armed forces and coalition forces in Iraq. In addition, patients may include Iraqi citizens and enemy fighters. When the U.S. military arrived at the hospital, many repairs had to be made to the plumbing and electrical systems. The medical equipment had to be sorted and cleaned from top to bottom. Eventually, the hospital will be turned over to the average, everyday Iraqis. 1Lt Hyer worked in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the hospital. They worked and lived in the hospital. Her room was one floor above where she worked. She said that there were bad days, but the days that helped her through are the ones when she knew that a soldier’s life had been saved and that they could return home to be with their loved ones. Getting letters, care packages, and e-mails from home also helped. One of the hardest days she remembers was the day they received 17 of the casualties from the Chinook helicopter that was shot down. One was killed in action, and three others died of their wounds within hours of their arrival. Many others were critical and filled the remaining ICU beds. They had a full house with 19 ICU patients, 13 on ventilators. Hyer says it was not uncommon to receive mortar attacks in the green zone, which shook the hospital. One morning she was shaken out of bed by a mortar attack. The hospital personnel usually were boneweary and emotionally drained. This was more trauma than any of the nursing or physician staff had ever had to deal with on a regular basis. It was hard and stressful being over there, but someone has to do it. After her arrival in the United Stated, she was able to take a long anticipated visit and a much needed rest at home with her family and friends. She was home for three weeks. She is now stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. She will be leaving in July 2004 for a three year tour at Landsthul Hospital in Germany.
