Navy Medicine in Vietnam begins and ends with a humanitarian operation—the first, in 1954, after the French were defeated, when refugees fled to South Vietnam to escape from the communist regime in the North; and the second, in 1975, after the fall of Saigon and the final stage of America’s exit that entailed a massive helicopter evacuation of American staff and selected Vietnamese and their families from South Vietnam. In both cases the Navy provided medical support to avert the spread of disease and tend to basic medical needs. Between those dates, 1954 and 1975, Navy medical personnel responded to the buildup and intensifying combat operations by taking a multipronged approach in treating casualties. Helicopter medical evacuations, triaging, and a system of moving casualties from short-term to long-term care meant higher rates of survival and targeted care. Poignant recollections of the medical personnel serving in Vietnam, recorded by author Jan Herman, historian of the Navy Medical Department, are a reminder of the great sacrifices these men and women made for their country and their patients.

Another excellent work By Amazon Customer As a former FMF corpsman in the Vietnam War I can state with authority that Jan presents an accurate portrayl. It is well researched, compelling, and easy to read. Jan provides excellent insight into the medical aspects of the War. There are few works on this topic and helps the younger generations understand some of the constructive aspects.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I was there, and remember it a little differently By S. R. Warnock The author writes about Charlie Med, 3rd Medical battlion, but he wasn't there druing my time assinged to the unit (from February 65 on Okinawa to May 1966 at DaNang) .So apparently all of his information is second hand. Cdr A. Wilson MC wasn't at Charlie company until late 1965. . His recollections do not match mine, and he was not well liked, or very well respected by the other doctors or enlisted men, So take any of his remarks with a grain of salt. I ran the blood bank at Charlie med from March 65 unitl late 65. I DID crossmatch blood when time allowed, contrary to the authors statments. Our problem was we didn't have a refirgerator that would preserve blood until early 1966. All of our blood at that time came from walking donors. The main issue was drawing donors fast enough to fulfill the need. Charlie Med was an outstanding unit, especially when LCDR Escajheda (sic) was the CO and our head surgeon. He was very well liked by all. Dr Joyce was the anesthesiologist during my time and he was a fine man, and physician. We worked with very limited and old equipment. Supplies were very slow coming. Early on we were often very short handed, and had to work long hours without relief. Over all I suppose the book has good information. I only question the time frame I was there.
