Imagine being a medical professional on the front lines of not just war but diplomacy as well. Our guest, Dr. Andrew Hyatt, has lived this life and is here to share his incredible journey from an Army Family Medicine physician to a Regional Medical Officer for the Department of State, serving in over 50 countries. He provides a behind-the-scenes look at his deployment in Hungary during Operation Joint Endeavour, where his medical skills were tested in the midst of Europe's transformation in the mid-90s. His story provides a unique lens into the world of Military Medicine and its instrumental role in foreign service.        Transitioning from combat boots to diplomatic corridors, his responsibilities expanded to providing primary care to U.S. diplomats and their families across the globe. As he navigates us through these roles, Andy highlights the unique challenges of practicing medicine in unstable regions and the protocols that ensure the safety of medical personnel. He provides an illuminating look into the protocols and challenges of coordinating care with the Military system and even evacuating patients when necessary—ever wondered how the State Department ensures the safety of its medical personnel in dangerous locations? Dr. Hyatt's firsthand accounts give you an insider's understanding of the intricate network of Diplomatic Security Service, Marine Security Guards, and host nation protection that all work in unison to guarantee safety. Join us for this riveting discussion that takes you on an enthralling adventure into the life of a physician in the Department of State.   Chapters: (0:00:00) - Military Medicine and Transition to the Department of State (0:14:17) – Foreign Service Medical Care in the State Department (0:27:46) - Safety in Dangerous Locations   Chapter Summaries: 0:00:00) - Military Medicine and Transition to the Department of State (14 Minutes)    Dr Andrew Hyatt shares his experiences of deploying to Hungary with the 67th CSH to support Operation Joint Endeavour, and then his subsequent deployments around the globe. He talks about the opportunities available for foreign medical service with the State Department and how prior service in Military Medicine provides an excellent preparation experience. We also discuss the state of Europe in the mid-90s, particularly as Military Medicine was poised to help the country.   (0:14:17) - Foreign Service Medical Care in the State Department (13 Minutes) Dr. Hyatt relates his experiences as a Regional Medical Officer (RMO) for the Department of State, providing primary care to U.S. diplomats, family members, and other personnel in over 50 countries. He describes the different types of health care providers employed by the Department of State, as well as the protocols for evacuating a patient for specialty care. He also discusses the challenges of coordinating care with the military system when necessary.   (0:27:46) - Safety in Dangerous Locations (12 Minutes) Dr. Hyatt served as a supervising Regional Medical Officer in Ukraine, and his Family Medicine background helped him recognize and manage mental health issues. He shares the complexity of providing medical care in unstable and dangerous areas and how the Department of State ensures the safety of its medical personnel and their families. Challenges of providing medical care in these contexts include the Diplomatic Security Service, Marine Security Guards, and host nation protection, all playing a role in keeping personnel safe.   Take Home Messages: Military Medicine often serves as excellent preparation for roles in the diplomatic field, offering experiences in diverse environments and emergency situations. As a Regional Medical Officer, one provides primary care to U.S. diplomats, their families, and other personnel in multiple countries. This position also involves coordinating care with the military system when necessary. Transitioning from Military Medicine to diplomatic medicine involves changing roles from active combat to providing healthcare in diplomatic corridors. However, both roles require resilience, adaptability, and a commitment to serving others. A Regional Medical Officer's role extends beyond primary care to include investigating relationships with local medical colleagues and assessing local facilities for the benefit of U.S. diplomats and their families. In places with limited local specialty care, the Regional Medical Officer may need to arrange for patient evacuation to a location with the necessary medical facilities, even back to the U.S if necessary. Working as a Regional Medical Officer involves decision-making about where a patient's needs will be best met, considering local capabilities, the urgency of the situation, and the patient's condition. Diplomatic medical personnel are often stationed in unstable regions. Their safety is ensured through coordination with the Diplomatic Security Service, Marine Security Guards, and host nation protection. The unique challenges of practicing medicine in unstable regions include coordinating with different security services and ensuring the safety of medical personnel and their families. Providing medical care in dangerous areas often involves working with a small, close-knit group, which can foster a strong sense of camaraderie. The experience can be rewarding, despite the potential risks. The interplay of medicine, military, and diplomacy provides unique opportunities and challenges. It's a testament to the adaptability and resilience of the medical field and those who choose to serve in these roles.

In this episode of Battleground: Gaza - Saul and Patrick take a look at the latest developments in this divisive conflict.

A court in Qatar has handed death sentences to eight Indian citizens, all of them former personnel of the Indian navy. The ex-navymen were convicted on espionage charges. India has termed the sentencing ‘deeply shocking' and has said it is exploring all legal options. The Indians were all employees of a defunct company, Doha-based Dahra Global, and had been arrested in August 2022. How did these Indian nationals end up in this situation? What are the chances that their lives can be saved? And what can New Delhi do to bring them safely back to India?

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman and Arab affairs reporter Gianluca Pacchiani join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in our Jerusalem offices. It is Day 27 of the war with Hamas and the IDF continues to push into Gaza even as Israel suffers continued loss of soldiers' lives. Berman speaks about what's happening on the ground right now. Israel's other fronts are also seeing an uptick in violence and an Israeli was killed in a shooting attack in the West Bank this morning. Berman updates on what we are seeing on the northern front. Foreign passport holders are being let out, and Egypt projects some 7,000 will be cross the Rafah border soon. Who are these foreign passport holders? Jordan is among the nations to have pulled its ambassadors to Israel. Berman explores how serious of a move this is in terms of Israel-Jordan relations. We hear about a Lebanese TV interview with Ghazi Hamad, a member of Hamas's political bureau, in which he basically said the terror organization has no regrets for its October 7 massacre. And finally, Pacchiani reports back from a visit he made to Rahat and its surroundings, in which he met a Bedouin family with four members held hostage in Gaza.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and news editor Amy Spiro join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. Today is day 24 of the war, which Israeli officials said on Saturday is now in its second stage. The UN Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting this afternoon on Israel's ground incursion in Gaza and the humanitarian plight of Palestinians there at the request of the United Arab Emirates. Why is it the UAE that asked for this emergency meeting? The IDF says ground operations continued in the northern Gaza Strip overnight, with troops killing dozens of Hamas members who barricaded themselves in buildings and tried to attack troops. Is this the ground incursion Berman has been expecting? Yesterday, Berman spent time with a tank unit on the northern border and reports back. He later made his way to Ashdod to speak with Gazan mothers of children who are receiving medical care in Israel. We hear what they said. Spiro has been spearheading our Those We Have Lost series, in which we aim to give a slice of the personalities of the 1,400 who have been killed since October 7.

It's probably fair to say that the Israeli government was not the only one caught flat-footed by the deadly attack launched by Hamas on Oct. 7. On that day, several of the U.S. government's top diplomatic posts in the Middle East were vacant, and the Biden administration had long focused most of its attention elsewhere in the world. And, in a now infamous episode from only a week prior to the attack, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan had said, “The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades.”But all that has changed. Though its record is still up for debate, the U.S. diplomatic response has kicked into gear, with several visits to the region from Sullivan, Secretary of State Blinken, President Biden, and other high-level U.S. officials. To take stock of the U.S. diplomatic response to the war thus far, Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien sat down with Akbar Shahid Ahmed, HuffPost's senior foreign affairs reporter, and Robbie Gramer, a diplomacy and national security reporter at Foreign Policy. They talked about the nearly broken Senate confirmation process, the fallout from a high-level diplomatic resignation, and the potential “mutiny brewing” inside the State Department. They also discussed whether or not a reported dissent cable circulating through the department might shift U.S. policy toward Israel-Palestine.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

This week, Joe Biden travelled to Israel – becoming the first US president to visit the country at war. He set out to show United States support for Israel, ease the humanitarian disaster unfolding in Gaza, win the freedom of hostages held by Hamas, and prevent a wider regional conflict that might draw in the US. So with stakes this high, how did he perform? And what does this mean for Biden politically? This week Jonathan Freedland is joined by Julian Borger, the Guardian's world affairs editor, who is in Jerusalem and has been following the trip and the reactions to it.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and military correspondent Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. A US warship in the Red Sea intercepted 3 missiles fired from Yemen, possibly at Israel, last night. Fabian explains. The IDF has declared that the northern city of Kiryat Shmona will now be evacuated. What does this indicate? We hear about a slight slow-down of events on the southern border. Senior Israeli officials says that the imminent large-scale ground campaign in the Gaza Strip to root out the Hamas terror group will be “difficult, long and intense.” Berman and Fabian delve into some of the tactics that may be employed as well as some of the tough decisions facing Israel. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak paid a visit to Jerusalem Thursday, becoming the latest in a train of Western leaders flying to Israel to show their support after the terror attacks of October 7. Berman explains what came out of his visit. For the latest updates, please look at The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog.

The Hamas terrorist attack on Israel shook the Middle East and threatens to expand far beyond Gaza. Secretary of State Blinken has visited seven countries across the region hoping to prevent the war from expanding, gain release for American hostages and coordinate humanitarian aid.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been shuttling back and forth to Arab capitals, hoping to win support for Israel's massive offensive in Gaza. But key regional leaders, including Egypt's Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aren't on board with Israel's plans. Also, millions of Palestinian refugees live in the countries that border Israel, including about 500,000 in Lebanon. We hear from Shatila refugee camp in Beirut, where Palestinians are closely watching what's happening in Gaza. And, over the weekend, Australians went to the polls to vote in a referendum to recognize First Nations people in the constitution through an advisory body called the "Voice to Parliament."
