There is a lot of stuff here, some true some false.

The Ranger Medic duty description an scope is pretty much outlined here on this website. If that sounds like something you want to do then do it. You are young, you can enlist do some time then apply to PA school. If you feel very strongly about ...

I have never seen such worry over trivial shit. Yes, they give an injection at reception. Just tell them you are allergic, and drive on.

I have no health issues other than my eyesight which is nearly 20/200 but correctable to 20/20. My plan is currently to enlist after I get out of high school (probably the 4th of July 2011). I also plan on getting eye surgery because I dislike glasses, I don't want to lose my eyesight in the middle ...

Rangers,

What kind of implants do you have?

Gentlemen, I've been working with my company medics trying to get them restocked and supplied as best as possible before we head down range. It's been a slow process, but for whatever reason we arent able to get an official restock from the Guard until we mobilize in Sept., therefore, we've been ...

No there is not. You can find a complete one on AKO, or you can buy one online.

So my understanding is to not really worry about it, but if a massive hole starts forming on my body, staph related or not, give somebody a holler?

Can do.

It all depends. If you get a hole in your ass, and shit starts falling out of it... it is perfectly normal.

I would agree with sleepy doc, no cadre, wherever you are ...

You have seen a physician and have a diagnosis. But yet you come here looking for advise from non medical people and EMTs who have not even seen you. Listen to your provider and SHUT THE FUCK UP.
