As a retrofitted medical train pulled out of Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, carrying nine badly injured patients to a safer location last week, Canadian American physician Dr. Daniel Schnorr could finally exhale. "The idea of the medical train kind of arose because we noted that the trains have, remarkably, been able to run throughout the war from the beginning," he said. When putting together a team for MSF's medical train, he was unable to recruit any local nurses. His crew instead had one nurse from Belgium and a number of Ukrainian medical students working as nurses' aides. On Wednesday, the MSF medical train evacuated patients from the Kramatorsk station in Eastern Ukraine.
