What have you seen Combat Medics do down range that was out of the scope of practice?

TO ALL THE FNG's and Young Troopers still fighting the fight today reading this...Just ONE real-world, mission essential piece of advice...TAKE CARE OF YOUR MEDIC!, because Doc is Damn Sure gonna take care of you.
Doc don't pull guard, because when you are copping zulus Doc is checking feet and fevers...
Doc dont dig his own hole, he don't need blisters on the hands that will start your IV.
Doc eats FIRST, because he will spend 90% of that chow break making sure your NUGS and Privates are drinking water and eating something besides candy bars (I know this is YOUR JOB there Squad Leader, but Doc does it too, because he fracking cares).
Take care of Doc, Help him carry his load, cause most of his load, is for you and the platoon. One last thing, if your are still reading...Check Doc's feet once in a while, offer him a cookie from home in that box from your little sister, let Doc know he is part of the platoon, and is misassigned to HHC. Invite Doc to your platoon cookouts, and even to Christmas dinner if he is single.
In the fight or in Garrison, Doc is a Grunt's best friend.

As a Physician Assistant in the United States Army, a former combat medic, and a front line provider, I train my medics in everything I possibly can. The idea is to push as much knowledge forward as possible since I certainly cannot be everywhere. I train my medics to do everything as it relates to trauma (tourniquets, airways, crics, NCDs, chest tubes, digita intubation, morphine and ketamine usage, Narcan, and when it comes to noncombat (DNBI), i teach constantly to increase their awareness and ability to treat. Any provider who doesnt is failing his medics, in my opinion, and therefore failing the warfighter. AMEDD has done a poor job adapting its combat medic program with the reality of combat medicine. And as we leave the known combat theater, it will need to get its head wrapped around the idea of sustainment training for all medics, because table 8 BS is worthless and MSTC sites are hit and miss. If we dont support a solid program moving forward we will lose a massive amount of institutional knowledge and return to the medic we went to war with, not the Combat medic we brought home.

A medic's scope of practice is often expanded or contracted based off their relationship with the PA or the BN Surgeon if deployed. In my experience for a "good" medic their scope can be a lot more beyond the STP critical task list. I have personally performed many minor procedures in a field MTF environment as PFC while deployed. This was always proceeded by vetting through the BN Surgeon on every aspect of the of the procedure such as identification/conservative treatments/procedure risks/procedure steps/supervised executions.

From what I've seen, of medics that are coming out of the school house, they are still getting the full run through of combat oriented treatments, but are severely lacking on the general sick call identification, treatment, and documentation (Medical treatment ,organic and area support). I also had some basic field sanitation knowledge coming out of training, but now they seem to have none (Preventive medicine services). Which is a very large issue as the line medic can often serve in the place of the unit field sanitation team. For both of these shortfalls in training, I have not seen new medics come out with any additional training so I have no idea what may have taken its place.
