the region, physicians and other health care workers have found themselves, willy-nilly, in the crossfire. This paper focuses on Egypt’s medics, paying special attention to how many have both appealed to and practiced <i>medical neutrality</i> as its own potent
and contested political stance, particularly since the period of military rule following Mubarak’s removal from power. Our paper draws on interviews with key players in the doctors' strike and with physicians who served as volunteers in the field hospitals
in the days of unrest and violence, including those who belong to organizations, such as “Operation: Anti-Harrassment,” “Doctors of Tahrir” and “Doctors Without Rights.” Our paper reveals how their commitment to medical neutrality put them at odds with the
orders of military personnel, infuriated throngs of protestors, led to suspicion among members of the Muslim Brotherhood, and even caused divisions and fractions within their own movement.</font></span></div>
