Dr. Haing S. Ngor was a prisoner in the Cambodian Communist camps. He subsequently came to the U.S. and starred in his first motion picture The Killing Fields, a 1984 British film, for which he won an Academy Award for best supporting actor. He was outstanding in that role. He played Dith Pran, a Cambodian journalist who was able to escape from one of the camps.
Dr. Ngor was murdered by oriental gang members in 1996 in Los Angeles.
He was on the Oprah Winfrey sometime after the movie was made and stunned everyone speechless, including Oprah, when he said that he was operating on a patient when the Communists came to round everyone up. The entire medical staff left the patient on the table and fled. He was subsequently captured but throughout his imprisonment was able to hide his identity as a doctor.
The Cambodian Communists did not like professionals, such as doctors and lawyers. I assume they treated themselves.
