Not Applying Any Military Intelligence  
 
Doctor, Jerk, Medical Office, Military, USA | Healthy | February 9, 2018  
 
 
(My military career has me outdoors most of the time, usually in very hot and sunny places. Several years later, I develop a rough patch on my face and am referred to a specialist who listens to my history and diagnoses a precancerous lesion. He recommends that it be removed right away, during this visit, and I agree. He leaves the exam room, and I overhear him giving instructions to the nurse.) 
 
Nurse: “So, what kind of local do you want for her?” 
 
Doctor: “We can do this without it.” 
 
Nurse: “Without anesthetic? Are you sure?” 
 
Doctor: “She was a Marine. She can take it.” 
 
(Gee, thanks, Doc!)
