Actually, it's Latin for "body", "collection", or "main part of". Corpu being the root. French is a Latin based language.
I'm ok with the first aid and some battlefield "stuff your guts back in" type stuff... But Corpsmen are NAVY medical personnel. I was a Marine.
Much better at creating wounds than in the fixing of them...

All the more reason to love marines! My marine grandson, for one. I got an EXCELLENT hug from him on his way to Pendleton!

I swoon for Marines.
