Hours after an earthquake leveled the ancient city of Bam, Iran last month, Born joined about 60 other surgeons, nurses and paramedics from the International Medical Surgical Response Team on the first U.S. military flight to Iran in 24 years. In tents set up amid the rubble, without running water or X-rays, the team treated 727 patients in four days. (AP Photo/George Widman)
