RE: The Devils' Doc - A Short Story

in #writing7 years ago

You guys are the Marine's doctors; There's no better in the business than a Navy Corpsman...."

-Lieutenant General Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, U.S.M.C

I learned a lot from Corpsman. Had the privilege of going through the Combat Lifesavers Course in Camp Al Taqaddum in 2009.

It was the first time I got to put an IV in which was interestimg. Remember there was some poor Marine whose partner just could not get the vein and was getting poked all to hell. Just goes to show how Marines really need their Docs.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Teaching TCCC and CLS were some of my favorite experiences in the Navy. I can remember on more than one occasion where a Marine would bury an IV needle hub-deep into my arm, completely missing an obvious vein lol. Thanks for your service, Devil.
