Combat Hospital	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Combat Hospital is a Canadian series set in a military hospital in Kandahar, Afghanistan during the middle of the conflict there in 2006. The series actually started in June, 2011. The first season ended in September, 2011 without any chances of being renewed since ABC opted not to continue working with Shaw, forcing them to end plans to continue producing the show.The show focuses on the lives and work of a multinational International Security Assistance Force medical team as they struggle to cope with the challenges of working in such an environment. Major Rebecca Gordon (a Canadian trauma surgeon) and Captain Bobby Trang (US Army diagnostic specialist) join Colonel Xavier Marks and the rest of his team near the frontlines in the first episode and are thrown into the thick of the action. The other main characters include civilian neurosurgeon Dr. Simon Hill and Major Grace Pedersen (an Australian psychiatrist).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Combat Hospital / int_14848fa3	type	Multinational Team
Combat Hospital / int_14848fa3	comment	Multinational Team: The hospital staff, reflecting the nature of the whole force in Afghanistan under the ISAF. The main characters are from Canada, the UK, the USA and Australia with some local Afghan presence. In "It's My Party", it's mostly a blink or miss moment unless you're familiar with the camo patterns seen on screen that shows other ISAF/non-ISAF partner nation soldiers (Which is entirely correct) including German (though German troops are sometimes seen in other episodes), Dutch, Romania and Singaporean.note Although the lone Singaporean soldier needed to wear the No. 4 desert camo variant, which was used by actual Singaporean soldiers who were deployed in Afghanistan. In "Reason to Believe", you'll see French and Romanian soldiers.

Combat Hospital / int_5fff364d	comment	Combat Medic: Played with in that all the uniformed personnel tend to be armed at all times, and Rebecca and Grace have been conducting field clinics in full kit and armor. The nature of the war means that the distinction between combat zone and safety is quite blurred. Col. Marks is the closest to it, having shown his sharpshooting skills in the midst of surgery when he spotted a snake in the operating theatre.
