Kinda.... actually we take a class in torturing those who fail to care for themselves and take easy steps to keep clean and healthy... but filling other people's plantar blisters with tincture of benzoin is pretty fun:youllpay:... as is having to lance boils in the field without any anesthesia... they're just lovely

... especially if the feet haven't been washed in 3 days of rucking:whatever::dead:, or the boil has really festered

... it's a joyous life.... wonderful smells and textures and such pleasant working conditions.... and then having to keep following up on those items.... or suturing a guy up who pushed his dull knife into his hand:wall:.... or treating a teammate who got giardia.... yuppers... we just torture the shit out of people with common ills....
You got the clap... again?

will elicit the evilest of glares from a medical guy.... especially if the dumbass has had it 5 times in the past 4 months.... and what you see as torture or sadism, is actually part of... "the operator feels no pain"... which is an adage that you learn in one of the schools.....
SO.... wrap that rascal, take care of your feet, know your field sanitation/hygiene and learn how to use a friggin knife.... and you won't have to worry about apparently sadistic medics.:wall:
