I am not trying to brag, but just stating how splendid it is when someone says their life changed for the better due to your actions. Where she saw darkness now she sees light. It fits perfectly with my mantra of leaving the world a better place.

MAJ Ken Landgren, I totally agree with you. An occurrence last fall really made me think about this very subject. It really brings out the fact that we are here to serve the people and we are directed to love your brother as yourself.
I saved a man's life in the course of doing my job, Independent Duty Corpsman, and I still get a Christmas Card and a phone call at least once a year. Several years ago, my call was from his wife, thanking me for all I had done. She realized that she was sitting looking at three children and one grandchild that would have not been there if I had not saved his life. She said that Donnie could not talk right now, he was too choked up. He called a couple days later and we talked for a good while.
The reality of what I had done was never as clear as then. I started medicine as an EMT in 1971 and ended as a Physician Assistant in 2113. I went into medicine for almost 50 years ago, to save lives, but it was never as clear as when his wife said "You changed a lot of lives that day. . ." as she put it that i was meant to be working in medicine. I believe that God had me there at that time for a reason. I am happy every day when i think about treating him and a lot of my patients. I am sure there are other lives I changed but this is the one I will carry forever.

Your request has been granted. Would you like mentoring?

MAJ Ken Landgren - Thank you for sending the paper to me. I just opened it and intend to start reading it as soon as I can. I have an on line counseling in a day and need to get the notes organized as they were written out of order. I write things down as they come to me and many times I have several pages out of order. Right now I do not think I need a mentor but would like to keep contact with you.

CPO Gerald Burns - May I suggest that you do not rush through the paper and take a methodical approach. I would appreciate feedback. It tells me what is good and bad about the paper.
