Borden Institute releases 68W Combat Medic Specialist Fieldcraft Textbook

So which way is DOD/DA going with this training manual??? In '76, my training manual was TM 8-230, in '85 for BNOCS it was a miss-mash of excerpts from the PA school and 91C MOS training manual [now 68WM6 Practical Nurse] ... Now, BNOCS recommended that we students acquire and retain a "Merick Manual", a very practical medical manual that could be used during 'Sick call' in garrison as well as stuffed in one's aid bag while 'downrange' for referencing between sick-call and trauma tx protocols. Sometime between 1976 and 1985 the IQ elites at Ft. Sam's MEDCOM created this lovely gem: STP 8-91B25-SM-TG... which wasn't as technical as the TM 8-230 which reenforces my question (see opening sentence) ... And let us not forget that some IQ elitist in MEDCOM decided that "Brady's NREMT Manual was a good training manual for us GI Joe medics... I remember that sometime during AIT the question was asked if Military Medics could use their skills on civilians if the need arose... we were told not really and DOD/DA JAG would not CYA if we the GI were sued.... So what's the reasoning behind us GI Joe medics needing to pass the NREMT to be a 68Wi??? I was fortunate to acquire the 1983 edition of the US Navy's Independant Corpsman's training manual (good medical training stuff there) while assigned to the LA MEPS. That Manual came in handy when I PCSed in '89 to the Siani to the MFO's 1st US Army Support Battalion.
Sorry to rant but, It seems to that MEDCOM just keeps rewriting the same manual, sometimes it's better; sometimes it's dumber than its predecessors...
I would like to find the medical training manual my grandfather was taught form back in 1942... was it _____????
