Very scary telling this story ... scary that others find out what goes on behind the scenes. One combat medic sent me PM commenting on this character. This was just one medic. I was assisted and cared for by dozens of other medics who should all get the medal of honor for their heroic work.

The weirdo medic who slammed me into the wall is not at all characteristic of combat medics who risked their lives daily to make sure others were cared for. All of the medics i knew took all the time they could to listen to soldiers talk all afternoon or all night if need be to help them survive mentally.

Every medic I know helped the whole man survive, from scratches to tourniquets -- aspirin to morphine. whatever could be done to help.

Salute to medics everywhere!
