This story captures the lives of two drastically different individuals who meet under the bloodiest circumstances during the 2014 Syrian Civil War. Doctors Without Borders Iraqi-American Surgeon Sabah Faraj Putrus and Syrian refugee Hamdia Qubbani meet outside her damaged Al- Lathekia city, where temporary DWB tent hospitals had been installed. A strange twist in support among local key players takes its toll on Dr. Putrus while attending to his needy patients among the dying and wounded. Refugee on a Pendulum events then shift to what happens to Hamdia and Dr. Putrus when he tries to use his American Embassy influences in Aman, Jordan to bump Hamdia's "Refugee" status to "Immigrant". Finally, the story illustrates how her destiny is tied up with conflicting powerful interests, she is forced to wonder if she will ever make it to safety, or like thousands of innocent Syrians before her, perish as a forgotten civil war casualty.
