Examining specimens is only one of the hundreds of technical phases a hospital corpsman must know. Dr. Sledge and staff put heads together to diagnose severe Deckitis case in sick bay. Medical work isn ' t all operations and physical pain. Here a corpsman brings one of the more than 1300 records up to date.
