Compared to some old corpsman, her knowledge base is up to date.
Working in emergency and critical care means she sees action all the
time...more than most corpsmen to be sure.

And how often does she call the shots w/r/t patient care? Nurses may know
how to perform life-saving measures, but they are also trained to obtain
medical direction before doing so. I've no doubt your wife is similarly
trained and experienced.

A corpsman is trained to react and provide measures to correct emergent
situations, without medical direction. In a true emergency give me the
corpsman every time.
