The gift that keeps on giving

3.2MM units of Procaine Pen G deep IM, preceeded 20 min with Probenecid 500mg po.... and the PPenG, right out of the fridge, both bullets at once, next to the sciatic/femoral nerve plexus on each side of the glutes... that'll teach you, fucker.

We think alike. I've had that question posed to me more than once. By the same Soldier. :wall:

Lol that is also why we have antibiotic resistance.

i had to throw lots of hate out as it's obvious you enjoyed treating those "Pure", "Innocent" lads.

Medics and Corpsmen, such angels in combat, have a way of turning gleefully sadistic when it comes to the common ills. I think they take a class in it.

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:

Sometimes the only way to drive the point home is with pain. I now know to never kick RP's pants, it only took 6 stitches in my foot to learn that.

I loved giving "hot patches" until I experienced it for myself.... We would also have to preform rectal exams for Paratroopers that hit the D.Z. too hard, onto their ass. P.A. (former 18D and other stuff) mandated for rectals to ensure 'hemacult negative".

The process goes as this. Troop drop pants, bend over and medic (me) would lube finger up, hold troops one shoulder and insert finger to check rectal tone and for gross blood. Another medic would sneak in and grab the troops other shoulder, making the troop think he were violated. Rather funny yet fucked up. I laughed. P.A. laughed. Medics laughed. Troop cringed in the corner of the aid station. It was fun.

F.M.

Not so much an expression of glee, as presumed it seems, but more of two medics agreeing on the frustration that drives us straight up the wall. We do not like doing the things that hurt others, quite the opposite in fact. The simple truth is that there is no other way to effect treatment. We do point out, each and every time GNID is diagnosed; that condoms are cheaper, don't hurt, and are very effectve at STD prevention. Granted, it may not be the best forum to express said frustration, apologies if it has offended anyone.

I joke about it, Doc, but have great respect for most in the medical profession...and a sacred regard for combat medics, corpsmen and the helo crews who come into the shit to take us out of it. I took an EMT-B course a few years ago and almost finished it ...but it astounded me how much one had to learn just to get halfway through that basic level. No wonder MDs spend a third of their lives in school.

Now you and firemedic and x SF med and medichick et al can all get back to your trepanning fun

@Ocoka One ... we use sharpened spoons for trepanning, not that fancy drill press thingie.... it doesn't fit in a ruck.

You allowed a team mate to go about with a dull knife? I'm gobsmacked.

And people say titanium sporks aren't worth it....
