Major Jamie Swartz demonstrates a facial expression she wants the patient to mimic during an appointment at the Korean humanitarian Hospital on Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, July 30, 2013. The young woman fell down recently and fractured a bone on the left side of her head causing a dent to form and draining fistula or hole. Swartz plans to operate on her in the future with the goal of relieving the constant draining fistula.
