Guest guest Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Mike, Â What exactley is it that you do not understnad about me and other members asking you you tone down your messages? They really and truly are becoming annoying and people are trying their best to give you the chance to join this website as an adult.

I understand it is common practice in the military, but this is not a military web board, it is a civilian web board. I don't see why the expectation of calling yourself Doc carries over to the civilian world any more than you would expect to be called Major. I was taught to respect hard won titles, and I have always hated being called Doc by the people I work with. I don't see it as a term of endearment, I see it as a marginalization, as if all medical personnel are interchangeable. The simple truth is a 91B is not as valuable as a the Surgeon General, that is a socialist concept that is contrary to everything we teach in medicine and the military. I am sure in the service you enjoyed the perks of your rank, including the title, which you still use in your signature, and I am sure you would correct any PFC who didn't refer to you as sir when it was called for. Thanks for correcting me Doc, obviously my mistake. " Doc " Sumo Out. > > > > Hello everyone, > > > > Im a remote medic that has primarily worked in the Gulf of Mexico and around the United States.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Point taken, remember I'm still one of the good guys and I don't think I used red in my fonts. Remember I am an officer and gentleman by an act of Congress. I don't recall being mean to anyone here. I have been appreciative and acknowledging my brother and sister medics too. i can be stubborn when it comes to sticking up for my pts even when I get trashed out there for doing so, no I don't say it was your group, but others for doing what is right. I have used some humor. It is my faith as a Christian and my sense of humor that has gotten me through rough times when possibly like many out there with combat experience may have gone through. So point taken, I maybe a stubborn old Baptist boy, but have not put down any you. If I have please point it out and I'd humbly apologize for such Most humbly and respectfully Mike " Major Dad " Reisman Maj-Ret RN CS FNP/PA<>< Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
