Petty Officer 2nd Class Tad Conklin, a corpsman with 2nd Battalion, 25th Marines, grimaces as he carefully bandages a large open sore on the back of 5-year-old Abdulrahman, an Iraqi boy diagnosed with congenital epidermolysis bullosa, a rare skin condition that produces painful sores and blisters and affects one in 5 million people. Abdulrahman's family was inside the Camp Mejid clinic, Feb. 16, where corpsmen and doctors from Multi-National Force - West and the Iraqi army delivered medical supplies donated by the University of Cincinnati and gave instructions on how to provide long-term care to help ease the boy's suffering.
