First of all, a corpsman is not a Marine, he's Navy. In hospitals they
serve as nurses and doctors aids. In the field they perform emergency first
aid and triage.

Marines are among the best in the world at breaking things and killing
people. But for things that require finesse (such as keeping their
skinny little butts alive) they call on the Navy.

Right. A corpsman is a navy man - there are no corpswomen. In
hospitals, he may serve as a nurse or orderly, but he's still a
corpsman, not a nurse or an physician's assistant.


Semantics

Uh, no. It's similar to the difference between a Ph.D. and an M.D. A "nurse"
has completely different training than a corpsman and there are completely
different legal ramifications associated with the care given by each.

For example, a "nurse" can write prescriptions (under the authority of a
physician), a corpsman can't.

House-Man, Gal-Boy and a few others.

I expect they are A-Sexual?
Nope, they build in a little hydraulic or air bladder system, with a
subcutaneous pumping bulb and release valve, to make the mockup sort of
function. When it breaks down, I don't think any home DIY repairs are
possible.

You're talking about a nurse practioner. Not a nurse. A regular nurse might
write the prescription for the doc but he has to sign it. A nurse
practiition is authorized to prescribe just as a corpsman is when there are
no doctors available.

Nurses cannot write a script however PAs (Physician's Assistants) can.

Tell that to my buddy who is a nurse anesthetist and may be the one
providing anesthesia to you during an operation if you happen to be in a
local hospital.

I believe that only a Physician's Assistant (PA) can write prescriptions
under a physician's authority.
A Nurse Practitioner (NP) has a Master's Degree and can even write
narcotic prescriptions without a physician's authority.
In NYS at least, an NP can open his or her own practice.

This is REALLY dependent on state law. Advanced practice (MSN or
higher) nurses can write scripts in most (I think all but I don't have
confirmation) states.

Right. But that's only because nurses generally aren't allowed on the
battlefield.

ANYONE, nurse or not, can perform emergency surgery on the battlefield - or
in an alley in midtown Manhattan, on a dude ranch, riding a Ferris Wheel at
the Ohio State Fair in Columbus, backpacking in the Grand Tetons, on a
Mississippi Riverboat, or while watchin Dr Phil at the neighborhood tavern.

Marines ARE different. For example, they don't wear nametags under the
theory that all anyone needs to know is that they are talking to a Marine.
And there's no such thing as an "ex" Marine.

I love telling the following story:

In February 2002, right after 9-11 when the National Guard was patrolling
the airports, an elderly gentleman was pulled out of the security line at
the Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix*. It seems as if he was trying to board
the aircraft with a destructive device, to wit: a Ninja Star. Further
investigation revealed that this fellow was single-handedly responsible for
downing some 34 aircraft with the loss of life of all aboard.

The gentleman in the middle was 79-year old Joe Foss. Foss was the former
governor of South Dakota, Brigadier General in the National Guard, former
president of the American Football League, and for 24 years, the host of the
TV program "The American Sportsman." He had just left a meeting of the Board
of Directors of the National Rifle Association and was enroute to the U.S.
Military Academy at West Point to deliver a guest lecture on patriotism.

The "Ninja Star" business? It was the Medal of Honor given him by Franklin
Delano Roosevelt for downing 24 Japanese aircraft during the battle for
Guadalcanal.

When told he could board the aircraft if he tossed his potential weapon in
the trash bin, Foss is reported to have said: "You've done ****ed with the
wrong Marine, sonny."

The only thing that could have been more bizarre would have been if this
whole unseemly episode had taken place at Joe's hometown airport in Sioux
Falls. The name of the airport is Joe Foss Field.

-------
* I was waiting to board an airplane at that same airport last February when
a diminutive TSA agentette tapped me on the shoulder and said: "Excuse me
sir, can I get you to do me a big favor?"

"I can't. I'm married," I said.

Turns out, she selected me for "additional random screening." But I'm
telling you, those TSA types DO NOT have a sense of humor!

I'd like to perform surgery on the Paul guy, Letterman's band sidekick.
Don't need any medical instruments. Band instrument, namely guitar
string, applied somewhere between the chin and shoulders is what I had in
mind. Paul deserves a "Goodfella".
