Shortly before she died, aged 27, in the same month, the bombs killed five of her patients. Tram helped move the remaining patients and staff to safety and fought an American ground unit as it approached the now deserted hospital.

Who was Dang Thuy Tram?
"Dang Thuy Tram was an army doctor who died in battle in 1970 during the American War. After she died, the family recovered some of her belongings – but not the diary.
According to Fred [Fred Whitehurst, American soldier], after a violent attack on a Vietnamese base in 1970, US soldiers advanced to a small deserted hospital. That day, Fred discovered many documents at the hospital, and with the assistance of Nguyen Trung Hieu, a translator working with the American unit, he selected and kept important documents, while burning others.
Over the following nights, Fred and Hieu read the diary together, discovering that Tram was the head-doctor of the hospital. She had stayed behind to fight Fred’s unit after ordering her colleagues and patients to go. Amazingly, Hieu also found Tram’s second diary, which he gave to Fred, who then brought both back to the US. Fred later took the diaries to the Vietnam Research Academy of Texas Technical University in Lubbock. After the diaries’ return to Vietnam, a documentary film, and a hospital named in Dang Thuy Tram’s honour have been established."
