THE SIGHT OF BLOOD

Again I’m backing up to an incident that occurred at Camp Swift. Dr. Forejt, while on duty as medical officer of the day, had agreed to remove a cyst from the back of the neck of a Sergeant. By right, it should have been done in a hospital, but as we were getting ready to move on to Fort Dix, the possibility of losing his services could only be prevented by doing it at our station. I stayed with Joe and watched the operation… until I almost fainted at the sight of blood! I left the room, then returned. I knew I might see more in Europe! But I finally got up and left the room- the heck with it.
