Hi. I'm Chief Hospital Corpsman Ivan Phillip Keaton. I'm a Green Side medic, assigned to the Marines.
We lost some good men in the Gulf...
... but we would have lost a lot more without our skilled medical corps.
Today we're going to walk you through some typical combat wounds.
A lodged bullet must be extracted with tweezers.
Disinfect the wound thoroughly.
Then the wound must be sutured with a suture needle and thread.
Finally, put a clean bandage over the wound.
Painkillers will help manage the pain...
... and antibiotics should be kept on hand in case of infection.
Pieces of metal or glass shrapnel follow a similar procedure.
Remove the shrapnel, then either bandage the wound if it's not deep...
... or disinfect, suture and bandage if it is.
Follow these steps and your men will live to fight another day.
Semper fi!
