在这部巴格达急诊室片中,美国有线电视台HBO，5月21日在美国首播一部位於伊拉克首都巴格达绿区内第86战斗支援医院(CSH)拍的纪录片《巴格达急诊室》，这部详实地记录受伤美军在急诊室受伤惨状与进行急救过程的纪录片，美国国防部却已表示，观看这部纪录片可能会使得士兵得到二度创伤。
驻伊美军在服勤时，经常被反抗军以IED、狙击手，以及自杀炸弹所攻击，以致伤亡不轻。伤患得被送上直升机，被十万火急的送到该医院。在面积不大的急诊室，每天都上演生离死别的悲剧。截肢开刀是家常便饭，地板上更是满布鲜血。
剧中一名儿子死在手术台上的母亲齐薇洁认为：「这是份礼物，对许多父母来说，等於把我放在我儿子的病床前，让我了解他死前17小时究竟发生什么。」
这部纪录片的两名导演表示，他们只希望美国人能更了解前线的战士。导演欧尼尔说：「我们希望美国人看这部片能有清楚的概念，知道士兵们曾受过什么苦，自从美国2003年攻打伊拉克以来，受伤美军人数已经超过1万7千人，到底受伤美军都经历过什么样不为人知的内幕，相信这部纪录片，将会带给美国民眾一些了解。
Winner of four Emmy(R) Awards, including Outstanding Directing for Nonfiction Programming (Jon Alpert, Matthew O'Neill)! The 86th Combat Support Hospital (CSH)--the U.S. Army's premier medical facility in Iraq and formerly one of Saddam Hussein's elite hospitals--is the setting for this unforgettable documentary that puts a human face on the war's cold casualty statistics. Directed by Emmy(R)-winner Jon Alpert (HBO's 'One Year in a Life of Crime'), the film profiles the doctors and nurses at the 86th who fight to save wounded soldiers who are Medevaced (helicoptered) in on a numbingly routine basis. In addition to capturing the drama of victims and caregivers in the ER, the film provides vivid frontline rescue footage with the 54th Medical Company Air Ambulance Team along with tension-filled scenes of soldiers patrolling what is considered the most dangerous road in the world: the five-mile highway from the Baghdad Airport to the CSH.
终究是美国拍的。
