Petty Officer 3rd Class Tiffany J. Sharkey, a 23-year-old laboratory technician with Taqaddum Surgical, holds a small Iraqi baby, while the child’s mother receives medical care during a combined medical engagement held here Oct. 18. The purpose behind this synchronized effort was to provide medical care to the locals of Ghartan, which was once part of an area labeled Iraq’s Wild West, but is now quite peaceful, thanks to the Iraqi army and police in the area. “I think we are all very successful out here,” said Sharkey, a Bridgeport, Mich. native and 2002 Baptist Academy High School graduate. “We see people until we are completely out of medicine. Plus, I like getting to interact with them and as long as we can help out at least one person, we have made that much of a difference.”
