OUCH!!!!
Note to all medics/18D's that view Reaper's pic. If you have to have a large Soldier hold your patient (VICTIM in this case) down so that you can work... you do not have adequate anesthesia. LOL
And NEVER listen to the extremely large 18D that sports a constant scowl on his face when he says he is sure the guy is numb and just being a sissy. Especially when this 18D tries to convince you that your Spanish translation is sketchy and that "duele" really means "thank you" instead of pain. Haha
okay, after that pic I am going to work on some more refresher topics in the med forum now!! Haha Naw, just kidding. Actually, that is not bad jaw breakin' going on in that pic. Good work there men. Almost brings a tear to my eye just seeing that masterpiece!!

That is what happens when the soldado in question says that he has neither the time, nor the need, for any of that wimpy Xylocaine, just go ahead and rip it out.
We the use a holder (right) and a puller (left) for his own safety. The soldado was not large enough to require additional SF personnel.
The real issue is the language barrier and lack of technical knowledge that prevents the soldado from saying clearly, "the pain is in my second molar on the lower right quadrant", and merely points and grunts something about "one of these hurts, take it out".
Big medics with scowls just look at personnel not otherwise engaged and go, "Well don't just stand there lookin', grab a patient and get in there and mix it up!"
LMMFAO!!

I changed the title of the thread so the SEAL Corpsmen, Ranger Medics, etc., can post pictures here if they wish. After all, its one big happy family. I for one would like to see some SEAL Corpsmen in action.
Para, Crip and Kyo - keep it up!

Analgesia...
It don't work so well with rampant infection, which will cause a scene like the first pic to play out. That's why God made 18 Bravos  "Mount the patient!"
