Dr. James Maskalyk was the first official blogger for Medecins Sans Frontieres / Doctors Without Borders. He wrote about his life on assignment in Abyei, a town near the Darfur region of Sudan, where he spent almost six months tending patients at great risk. In "Six Months in Sudan", Maskalyk weaves these daily journal entries into a moving and beautifully written memoir of his time with 'MSF'. It is an extraordinary book which explains what it's like to try to keep disease, violence, terror and despair at bay while administering front-line care in one of the most dangerous and desperate places on earth.

Dr. James Maskalyk is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Emergency Medicine at the University of Toronto, where he teaches, and practices Emergency Medicine at St. Michael's Hospital.
