Of course, the doc is not the only anomaly. General officer structures apply most of the time, but everyone has their moment. Doc commands in medical situations. The cook is king in the kitchen. A munitions technician at a dead sprint outranks everyone else. You don't argue with the supply guy. The list goes on.
Okay so, all I have to do now to re-create WW1 is to get rid of all the caffeine and rebrand the war's name as the Caffeine War, in that getting rid of the Geneva Convention. [Slowly points at assistant] ... Take notes.
me: got it, no caffeine, violence is not the answer, its the question, and the answer is *YES.* the doctor: nooo bloody hell where did you get that idea!? me: basic training sir. the doctor: why in the blue blazes would they teach their soldiers this... me: sir if i may... the doctor: sure. me: if the diplomatic corps job is to prevent wars, the military's job is to end wars. therefore we must be the hammer that isn't afraid to strike the stake into the ground. the doctor: good heavens... god help us all. me: god isnt here sir, but the reaper is. we gotta make him proud.
I once had a Sgt crash due to a heart attack. I turned to a full Bird Colonel and yelled at him " Call 911 and get me an AED"..... I don't know where he came from and I didn't see him ever again. But when Doc gives an order, you obey.
@zacharyharwell351 that is actually the problem in the military. Scenario, a Company is given a pot of stewy broth to be eaten. They are given a spoon, a fork, and a knife to eat with, and are told that they can go home as soon as this task is done. The First Sargent grabbed a fork and tells everyone to start digging in. Everyone else grabbed their fork and tries to get the broth to disappear, but it keeps going through the fork. A Private at the back says that he used to work in the restaurant industry and says that the spoon would work better. Everyone ignores him because the First Sargent is using the fork and he has a lot more military experience than the private. They are still at the company two hours past revelie and they still have a third of the broth to eat. The commander orders that next week leadership soldiers training is to be taught by the second lieutenant on the proper way to eat broth. This hyperbole is accurate with everything in the military except for Doc.

If they just go real quite, you are on a propably rather short life timer, barring any medical miracles, and they just started trying to come up with that miracle. So if they give you instructions, you better follow them to the latter. They will not allow you to insult them and their efforts of keeping you alive, without making you regret ever having been born, since only that will make you cherish your life more, in their eyes.

@@danielbenyair300 that's briefly summed up at 24:00 "The highest ranking officer in any medical situation is the one who knows how to save your life."
The ability of "Doc" to hand out orders to ranks over them is due to the fact that humans value human life. If a medic, or corpsman is dealing with a life and death situation, or even a stabilized patient that still needs transport to higher care, EVERYONE accommodates that because of our values. Also, do not fuck with the people who will make sure that you don't die when YOU get wounded... ultimately it's also self preservation.
The only thing i would not believe is cafeterie would stop serving hot dogs on Doc's command. Not even the Doc has the power to order the Cook in his kingdom. Unless its a medical emergency. And Cook does not see cholesterol as one
Don't touch the Medic Don't mess with the Doc. And may God, which ever one you may believe in, have mercy upon your soul if you are responsible for anything bad happening to the coffee.
True in American military physician captain can over ride darn near anyone. Infantry medic are called doc, never mess with doc. I have seen medical officers leave field grade officers trembling.
In day to day operations, rule follows rank. However as soon as operations involve the medical field the highest ranked doctor available can overrule almost anyone. The only two exceptions are EOD and the Chaplain when they're active in their duties.
If the Aliens think that doctor is scary wait till they hear about Desmond Doss and then find out he was a real person. They'll be shitting bricks in shock.
My Sergeant (medial corps) once folded a 1st LT (mechanized infantry) to fit under a door for trying to force the medics to camouflage their vehicles during an manoeuvre.
Have seen it happen.. Watched as a medic put an Inf. Col. in his place when it came to who got priority. The Col lost that one badly when he complained to the Gen and got his ass handed to him..
There's rank then there's athority. Overridden by experience. More interesting is watching Dr's take risks that commanders won't. What ever you do, Don't shoot one.
Fat Electrician made a video about Doc. Don't even look in Doc's general direction. If you think taking out the leader of the unit was bad, hitting Doc will net you all the artillery in the budget aimed at you... or something to that effect.
I think aliens would really get confused when we humans sometimes call our military peacekeepers. Why would they be surprised when humans put our priorities on saving lives? Good story. ❤

YES DOCTORS and NURSES can do the same kind of CRAZY that DR.CHEN was doing. Granted in EMERGENCY SITUATIONS IT MAYBE WORSE CRAZY.
Colleague of mine is a former corpsman who was assigned to marines; he prefers to be called doc, and having seen how his former comrades give this oddly calm guy insane levels of respect I don’t argue lmao
My grandfather was a doctor and he always told me that it's called a medical practice because that's exactly what they're doing, practicing. Since everyone is different and things effect people differently, you never stop learning and adjusting the knowledge base for all medical staff, now and in the future.
I feel like consulting a human soldier would solve these issues in like 5 minutes. "Everyone in a specialized role is assumed to be the closest thing to an expert on the subject we have, so when they give orders related to their specialization, you shut up and listen." Would seem to be a close enough approximation for anyone to understand to me
I have a cousin who is a Licensed Nutritionist. She made up the menus for Hospital Patients. I guarantee that one of the First Things she's do is institute/introduce caffeine-free beverages. Caffeine-free coffee, caffeine-free soda. Sugar-Free soft drinks, too. There are times where you are at your desk and you need a taste of a Hot Flavored Beverage. And I do NOT mean hot cocoa. Hot Dogs? OK, BUT....I could go on. We need a sequel where the Good Doctor meets said Nutritionist. And where are the nurses????? The Good Doctor orders, the RN's carry OUT the orders. Have the Good Doctor in a semi-heated meeting with a group of RN's. Yes, we CAN do This, No, we CANNOT do that. While the RN's Formal attire will be white, On Duty they will be wearing scrubs. Yes, there ARE TOO MALE Nurses. For the record: My mother was an RN who worked in a Mental Hospital until retired. And another cousin who was an ER Nurse. Oh, yeah: Where are the orderly's????
Pfft, Doc would totally have rank insignia. It's just more likely something unobtrusive clipped to the chest of the medic's uniform/scrubs/lab coat. Also, could you imagine how weighed down a senior medical officer would get if they started handing out medals to medics for lives saved/people spared from traumatic impairment due to timely intervention/doing their jobs? I mean, in these stories, humans are usually the crazy, gung-go people... But honestly, our medical professionals are probably the craziest of us. That or the veterinarians.

Absolute authority, with highly limited scope. Utilitarian Authority is the most legitimate form of authority in a free society. The chain of command works because the military functions best with clearly defined roles and every rank being properly earned. The physician's ability to bypass that chain of command at times is because the doctor bears the responsibility for the health and safety of all personnel... For both the Doctor and the General, authority derives from duty.
I would suggest that in medical emergencies doctors have authority granted from the highest command to take charge of the situation, unless actively countermanded by someone on site. But no one is short-sighted and foolhardy enough to countermand a doctor in an emergency.

There was a bit about x number of instances of "doc" pulling rank over the course of 4 months of joint operations or something, but the story started off as them JUST witnessing this. So you could argue there was a time skip. If it were written by a person, that's how that would have been handled. That said, it's definitely just AI stuff not keeping small details straight. Sometimes it's workable (like this one, at least as far as I've watched so far) and sometimes it creates a total mess that no one should have uploaded.
As a medic, it is kinda odd to be chatting with PSG and first Sgt and another spc or private snap to parade rest and everything to ask some questions. Sends me through a loop every time.
There are In nearly as hierarchies official lines of command and limited exceptions (doc) and there are the hidden lines based on competence and personality. Also there is Line and Staff a staff officer does not often command while a line officer that interferes with the staff officer best have a very good reason. Doc is staff (mostly)
You don't mess with 2 people in this order the guy that's supposed to give commands because without him it's grunts n crafts time and doc because they are the ones keeping people alive
Docs are fearsome, but even they tremble before the Formidable Charge Nurse, whose word is not just law, but is the Holy Writ of God. Beneath the Charge Nurse dwell their acolytes, the fearsome Ward Nurse, who does not leap tall buildings in a single bound but kicks the buildings over, is not faster than a speeding bullet, but tells the bullets to get lost they are busy, to which order the bullets humbly obey. We are nurses. We are the Law. ..and can we please find another name than Sarah Chen?

Sometimes it's workable (like this one, at least as far as I've watched so far) and sometimes it creates a total mess that no one should have uploaded.
This needs to be a movie
Good story, I enjoyed.
One does not simply mess with Doc and think they can walk
That was a fun listen.
As a medic, it is kinda odd to be chatting with PSG and first Sgt and another spc or private snap to parade rest and everything to ask some questions. Sends me through a loop every time.
So as a Doc I can confirm, ideas 2, 3 and 4 are all correct at the same time.
Ahh yes. The Doc, the Cook, and the Supply Sergeant. Never mess with them. You rely on them to survive after all.
Now we just need one about aliens learning why you never fck with doc(aka, attack the army docs)
damn I need a Dr Chen. I find these ridiculously incompetent doctors and staff.
Doc is the master of stacking and unstacking bodies
There are In nearly as hierarchies official lines of command and limited exceptions (doc) and there are the hidden lines based on competence and personality.
Also there is Line and Staff a staff officer does not often command while a line officer that interferes with the staff officer best have a very good reason. Doc is staff (mostly)
Moonbase Alpha? 😂😂😂
I have found myself enjoying these short stories that are now showing up on my vid feed
If the aliens think there's something special about coffee rituals, wait until they discover 'the brew' or 'brewup' and tea rituals in general. lol.
You don't mess with 2 people in this order the guy that's supposed to give commands because without him it's grunts n crafts time and doc because they are the ones keeping people alive
When America loses command structure its no longer war... Its, Waugh! Just Space Orks running amuk.
A fun story well told from a new perspective.
Docs are fearsome, but even they tremble before the Formidable Charge Nurse, whose word is not just law, but is the Holy Writ of God. Beneath the Charge Nurse dwell their acolytes, the fearsome Ward Nurse, who does not leap tall buildings in a single bound but kicks the buildings over, is not faster than a speeding bullet, but tells the bullets to get lost they are busy, to which order the bullets humbly obey.
We are nurses.
We are the Law.
..and can we please find another name than Sarah Chen?
Sergeant Major phenomenon 😂
Good story, loved the humor with the truth.
Very good story thank you ❤❤❤
"Previously observed Sgt Major Phenomenon" lol
these ai-pictures are horrendous..
❤ Absolutely Awesome Story ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
These stories are great with a lot of humor😅
the flags on their shoulders are facing the wrong way.
TY for the story 😊😊
Why do I love listening to these stories!
Gonna be honest, I don’t know how their military functions with this obsession of protocol. Sometimes function is more important in emergency
Really great. Laughed my ass off several times.
Where do these stories come from? They all seem to share a theme. Are they written by soldiers or AIs?
Imagine he searched our internet for The Doctor.
thank you for the laughter.
this was fun to listen to. thanks
