US Navy medics train for war in a Los Angeles emergency room

US Navy medics train for war in a Los Angeles emergency room.

We hear how US Navy medics prepare for war by treating victims of shootouts and car crashes at a Los Angeles hospital. Also, how the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus found pride and prejudice in the Middle East. And, ‘halal barbecue' for iftar, deep in the heart of Texas. 

Also, Mexico is playing a crucial role in stopping Central American migrants from reaching the US border. How returning home to the Yucatán Peninsula gets complicated after years in the US. And we meet three young sisters from Monterrey who give Metallica a run for their money.
