Bio
4th of 13 siblings. Hospital Corpsmen, Nursing, finally as a Physician Assistant. Specialized in both Family Medicine & Surgery. Working in Orthopeadic Trauma for the last 10 years before retiring.
Miss the Camaraderie of the military, but this has changed from when I 1st enlisted, which I contribute, along of lack of rank respect, to the political/civilian influence into changing the military.
