Thanks Brad’s Gramma, Albion Wilde and paulat. WOW!
The video at http://www.armytimes.com/news/2007/09/marine_rpg_moss_070922w/ is just awe inspiring. “Because Moss was looking at me and breathing.” That’s a reason to be a surgeon. The best reason to be.
(Although I want to spank every one of them for the risk!)
Watching them pull the missle out of his flesh wound was unbelievable. All of us hope that if we ever fall from a ladder, get in a car wreck or have some other grave accident and are unconscious, that some surgeons and techs will care enough. This video shows the deeply loyal mentality of the military — possibly able to do what they do because the malpractice lawyers are not breathing down their necks.
