They're hiring an American to take care of Americans on an American Government

contract, with specifications set by the American Government.

Makes perfect sense to me. I don't see how this would make anything

" difficult " .

Hi ,

Yes, the job description does sound busy, doesn't it? Since I don't

recall much drinking and carousing in downtown Kabul during the

evenings, maybe it's just as well to keep one's self occupied. <g>

And as for American nurses; while it does seem to be written with an

American flavor, I don't know that they would not accept interested

candidates from the UK or other places.

Certainly this remote medic list is UK-based, but I get the sense that

there are a fair number of American members reading these posts.

Best,

Larry
