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.

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.

Absolutely amazing story! And I am so-o-o-o thankful that instead of facing court martial, the troops who violated the “rules” and risked their lives to save their brother-in-arms were recognized for their bravery. Note that it took 18 months for us to find out about this awesome display of “love for their brother”. And yes, the video of the extraction was incredible!
