A doctor at the hospital sees potential in recosntructing this nurses face.
This doctor extends her enlistment so this nurse will be eligible for meidcal treatment covered by the armed forces over the entire course of the reconstructive surgeries. In the course of the reconstruction, the doctor and the nurse must overcome several obstacles.

All through her treatment the nurse continues her duties at the hospital when she is well enough to work. She bferiends a blinded patient while her jaws are wired shut.
