Marc Dauphin
Major Marc Dauphin (born 6 February 1960) is a retired Canadian military surgeon. He was based in Kandahar, Afghanistan, where he was in charge of the Role 3 Multinational Hospital at Kandahar Airfield. Major Dauphin was the basis for the character of Colonel Xavier Marks in the Canadian TV series Combat Hospital.[1]
Dauphin was born in Montreal and attended high school at Le Petit Séminaire de Québec (now Le Collège François de Laval), then studied medicine at Université Laval in Quebec City.[2]
As a result of the trauma of serving in a war zone, he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder[3] and contemplated suicide.
Dauphin wrote Combat Doctor about his experiences in Afghanistan.[4]
