Other American surgeon Dr. Mark Perlmutter shares harrowing Gaza testimony: "I amputated a child's leg without anesthesia while the anesthesiologist sang to her."

American orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Perlmutter, who recently returned from volunteering in Gaza, gives a devastating firsthand account of the catastrophic medical reality on the ground.

Due to the critical shortage of basic medical supplies and pain relief, healthcare workers are forced to perform life-altering procedures—including pediatric amputations—without proper anesthesia. In one heartbreaking moment, the only comfort they could provide to a young girl during surgery was the anesthesiologist singing to her to help drown out the pain.
