Thank you to Corpsman and Medics everywhere, a special thanks to those on the Sanctuary and Repose 1968-1969.

A population in dependency and chaos. A Democrat politicians dream city.

This program to train medics in inner city ER’s has been around for some time. At least since the 80’s. Still, I value their service to our country.

Maybe they should use Chicago to train Infantryman in urban warfare, live fire of course. /S

Last year I posted about a young intern in the Navy. He was “one of my wife’s other kids”. She was an RN for a busy FP for 35 years. She called the former young people her other kids. This young man had finished Med School and was a Navy intern.
He had just finished working at LA County and was headed to Chicago to work at their shooting gallery hospital, Cook County.
The Navy felt that working at both hospitals would help him to handle war injuries, physically and mentally.
Since then, I have learned that some of our Military hospitals in remote areas in our country provide ER care for locals.

My dad joined the Navy in 1942 at the age of 19 and spent the next 3 years in the South Pacific as a Corpsman.

6000/year means 16 cases/day average. Looks to me like they are 2 beds short, assuming one day per case. I guess they could do like the Canadians, where you lie on a gurney in a hallway.
To: DUMBGRUNT
Hope these guys are provided body armor and full battle gear. They are going to need it.
To: DUMBGRUNT
Except nobody is allowed to provide cover-fire as the wounded are retrieved from the battlefield....

I was a Medic in the late 50s early 60s and spent about 8 months at Walter Reed riding shotgun on an ambulance {among other jobs}, but we would pickup and treat GIs that were in bar fights, car wrecks, training accidents at near by military bases etc.
We were exposed to some murder and mayhem, but there was nothing like today's slaughter that exists in major cities today.
It is a terrible testament to our society when we send our young Medics and Corpsmen to Chicago hospitals to get real life combat training for life threatening wounds.

Seems to me they need to put them out with EMS to see the most immediate effects of trauma and learn triage, treatment, techniques, etc. By the time they arrive at a trauma unit, EMS has achieved some patient stability and things can be more controlled than what the corpsmen will experience with their Marines in the field. Not saying there still isn’t a lot of work to do in the trauma center and that it’s totally sterile with no blood/gore, just that the field situation is way different than a trauma center.

Why “/s” because it was meant to be a snarky comment not to be taken serious.
