It was the same in the navy, you could turn up at sickbay with a leg fallen off and you'd be given a couple of brufen. And told to F off. :lol:

Thanks for the generous offer of sharing your knowledge, its good of you mate and kudos for doing your thing still. Must be tough for you boys and girls at the moment, I think you have the nation's respect.

Haha i remember one night in Germany whwn i was on med centre duty medic. A ypung squaddie came in pished up and started slagging off the civi nurse. He had a wee head wound from a fight which needed stitching... so i closed the wpund with a few stitches but also added a button from my combat jacket to the mix. He came back the next day with his tail between his legs to apologise to the nurse and politely request button removal.

Brilliant. :lol: On submarines the primary job of Medics was nuclear physics and their 'scab lifting' duties were a bit remiss. After one particular mess deck friendly scuffle (which involved a copious amount of loud mouth soup) we all extracted ourselves off the guy at the bottom of the pile and his leg was at a bit of an angle. My (and a couple of other guys) opinion was he'd 'fecked it', but the scab lifter (who was involved in the mass piley on was he'd just "done a ligament". Long story short, we managed to get the guy off and away to a local hospital, he'd broken his ankle. :eek: The guys who took him to the hospital were able to join us in the boozer thankfully. :lol: Anyhoo...... here's two brufen.... :rofl:
 
A classic from a Medic to someone who had badly " scoped " themselves. " Don't come in here bleeding all over the place, wait there a moment"
