Marines don't have medics. At least they didn't when I was in the Navy. I was a Navy hospital corpsman attached to the FMF. The BEST duty I ever have. Got along GREAT with the USMC. Things may be different today. Most things are.
I sure did appreciate the Corpsman I served with!
I suspect that the average corpsman sees a lot more cases than the average civilian PA. In combat, they likely have to learn to do instant, on the spot, triage. You have to learn fast in those conditions.
