Desert Shield Desert Storm Navy veteran stationed on the USNS MERCY as a hospital corpsman. I was privileged to be able to care for the 12 released prisoners of war at that time! "DOC" is a respected name used in the marines and the navy, I can't speak for the other branches of armed forces. I can tell you that other marine and navy vets that learn I was a corpsman, call me "DOC", instead of my name. I cry like a baby every time I hear this song! I am so proud to have been part of something so much bigger than myself! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hey doc. People like you made sure people like me made it home. As a combat engineer we never knew when our next mile might be our last. But we knew people like you would do all they could and do what it took to get us home. I can tell from the moment this video started that your still not home. Please reach out...if not to me then to someone. Ive lost to many battle buddies to the transition home and we all need to stand up and say im here brother. Keep fighting the good fight and know that your little girl is the reason to drive on.

I know I have not seen or been faced with the injuries or situations you saw in combat but I know a little how you feel about being called “Doc”. Only been blessed to have heard it a few times from co-workers and law enforcement of my career in EMS of 30 plus years of service. Regardless of where you are it’s hard to tell someone their going to be all right when you know their going to die and there is nothing you can do to stop it hurts and stays with you forever.

I wish he reacted the way you did and was open to talking about it. He gets very angry and shuts me down, i understand there is a lot of trauma with that. My grandfather was a medic onboard a ship during ww2 and he had trauma. I think you are handling it in a more healthy way and not blaming yourself for those you couldnt save.
