Medic : Eat sleep wake up play game!
-
Ok.... Ok..... I do hear stories about the not -so-fit medics at the big medical centres (e.g. in the major camps). Before my time, I heard stories... like medics fainting when they saw a real serious casualty. But even within the same story, I heard that the MO, a NS captain, also got nervous and was under stress with the serious casualty. The casualty was a OCT who got blown up by a detonation cord ( I guess you may heard this story from the early 80s). But I heard from my medic friends that training has improved. There is attachments to hospital A and E departments to get them used to serious injuries.
Yes, I was from the infantry in NS and a specialised unit in the air force in reservist. Have always had combat medics attached to me, in fact 2 medics when I was in the reserve unit. As I said, I trust them fully , not just their medical vocation but in their other tasks as well. We expect them to fight in the infantry platoon, because the enemy is not going to differentiate who is the medic and who is the infantryman.
Sometimes the combat medic is "tail end charlie" in movement to contact. He and the PS hang back behind the platoon to cover everyone's backside. Very often the medic is actually the last man covering the PS 's backside. -
I think we are talking about Service Medic here, must agree they are quite relax!!Originally posted by zenden9:Aiyo! Who's not showiing respect abt combat medic,if u notice all along we r talking abt those medic enjoying good life in aircon medical centre.NOT COMABT MEDIC. Pls differential between medic and combat medic.We r talking abt those who r pec C,weak like girl,some who have not even pass IPPT! Enjoying good life but don't give a damm abt those sick patient,talking with a ang moi accent medic.If medic life really so bad,why so many MP dear darling who cannot become officer in NS like become medic? U think their lao bei mad,send their son to suffer meh?
Generally, pple still have the misconception of medic being easy vocation, like my ex colleague kept insisting medic no need carry weapon.. buay tahan!! Our basic load is similar to infantry man, but during real ops they may have additional load such as NVG, claymore, LAW etc
Everyyear we still have extra vocational training than the men during reservist, like infusion - more holes and pain on my arm, at last count got 33 holes liao!! And BCS training
For those CBT medic posted to medical ctr, its not easy also, i have a fren posted to SAFTI, he went to brunei 4 times in his NS career to cover OCS, more than most NSmen in their whole life. -

1) To practice what they were tought.
2) If they don't run the MC who will ask the unit clerk some don't even bother to come over.
Also have to tell you guys that some MO come from humble background like my MO. Next not all MP son become medic. Lastly I think some people are jealous because medic have the previliege of an air con working environment btw I think u guys have to know that when HQMC air conditioned all the MC, it is actually for the men like you guys out there. -
Medics are really tough guys man.Carry more and do more then the average rifleman of the line infantry units.Imagine this,riflemen already complain about going to EX with FBO...now imagine our medic similarly equipped but has to lug around the stretcher,first aid kit and so many other life-saving equipment...how does that make him?And the fatigue that sets in after long distance route marches etc...realli salute them.And somemore,they are using full-scale M16s, not like the Americans or Israelis where their medics carry carbines so as to lighten their load.

To those who think medic course is easy think again a lot of people who went to the medic course have little or no biology background and some of the medical names are really hard to remember regardless you are combat or service medic

I recalled now that, one of my fren was a service medic (oversea educated and rich) he boasted to me how his gang of service medic trainee beat the commandos medic trainee over a game of soccer during their SMM days.
Come to think of it ......Service medic can play rugged sport like soccer and trounced the commandos in it , yet they cannot go to the field... what an irony!!
During my medic course I have the fortune of havign a commandos as my buddy ... infact he actually look out and took care of me.... So I do respect the Commados a lot, as they behave in a more professional way and display camaraderie and they take initiative to go and runs and PT on their own!! -
Those guys are tired from training, and of course those from Service and Logisitcs will know that we have more time to train for soccer matches.Good, but please don't rub it in them yeah.Originally posted by seancannot:I recalled now that, one of my fren was a service medic (oversea educated and rich) he boasted to me how his gang of service medic trainee beat the commandos medic trainee over a game of soccer during their SMM days.

Hur? What are you talking about? How many MO's are there in a BN? Shout for them for f@#K, you know how far is the BN Casualty point. Bet you dun even know what that means. In the frontline, combat medics and FADs are your only source of first aid, go figure!!!Makes me wonder what you have learned during your NS days, sigh. 2.5 years gone down the drain.Originally posted by Chewbacca:The medic calls out "medic medic!!" , another medic comes, he too calls out "medic medic"..then another medic comes along, he too calls out "medic medic"...in the end all forget to call MO..causalty die
Btw, your other posts are laughable too, thanks for your "comic relief". -
