One of my instructors at SMM during my combat medic
course.
He told us, 'Some people may not always be appreciative of your
efforts. You can treat them, rescue them and prevent them from
dying, but they may still hate you in the end for some other
reason.
In the end, just remember that you are a medic, and as a medic you
must always do the right thing, even if no one appreciates your
efforts.'
Simple but very wise words on his part... I kept recalling those
words every single time I got bullied by the men in my unit - even
though I have treated their wounds and injuries before.
