Do people really yell "MEDIIIIIIIIIIC!?" and do you find your job more and more pointless given the ability to hide behind some crates until the blood in their eyes goes away and their wounds heal themselves?

But seriously, though, good deal doing what you're doing. We assume that everyone on here is young, white, and male, but are you male or female? I've always thought it was hilarious that video games and such teach us how the medics are the softies. What a load of shit. CoD doesn't teach you how to hold a guy's skull fragment to his head after a mortar attack while he seizes up - all while not knowing if you'll be shot at or mortared yourself.

I'm going to bed, but I would love to hear a story or two. What was your wake up call? When you truly realized that this job, no matter what you learned or dealt with before, wasn't a fucking game? And what are your thoughts on the way the media "cleans up" war to virtually eliminate any sign of blood and gore?
