No, he's got way too much sense for that - that's why I had to do it myself. I didn't have to cut very deep, though....

To: Psalm 73

When I was in the Navy I caught a couple of junior corpsmen trying to cut a cyst out of a Marine’s armpit. I about freaked, I could see major vessels from across the room, I could visualize a major hemorrhage happening any second. I ordered them to drop the tools and back away.

I am not a bold doc, I applied a dressing and sent the Marine to the hospital to have a surgeon close him up.

I then had an excited discussion with the Chief and HM1 on duty.
