I was deployed to the Mercy during the first Gulf War. Being a Dental Hygienist, I cleaned teeth in the dental department. It’s interesting when you’re on a ship and your chair has wheels! I would go rolling away at high seas often.
I also worked in the OR. Saw several different types of surgery from third molar extraction to laminectomy. Movement never really became an issue.
Navydevildoc - there was a wooden plaque in the dental department with the Desert Storm crew on it. Is it still there? My misspelled name on it would read DT3 Michele Morrison. Thanks!
I LOVED being on the Mercy. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks for caring for her, Navydevildoc. She will always live in my heart.
