The German Medic
In winter of 1944, with overtaxed supply lines in the Ardennes, a German medic had completely run out of plasma, bandages and antiseptic. During one particularly bad round of mortar fire, his encampment suddenly became a bloodbath. The survivors claimed to hear, above the screams and barked commands of their Lieutenant, someone cackling with almost girlish glee.
The medic made his rounds during the fire, in almost complete darkness as he had so many times before, but never this short on supplies.
The bombardment moved to other ends of the line, most men dropped off to sleep in the still dark hours of the morning – New Year’s Day, 1945.
The men awoke at first light with screams. They discovered that their bandages were not typical bandages at all, but hunks and strips of human flesh. Several men had been given fresh blood transfusions, with no blood supplies available. Each treated man was almost completely covered, head-to-toe, with the maroon stain of blood.
The medic was found, sitting on an ammunition tin, staring off into space. When one man approached him, tapped him on the shoulder, his tunic fell off to reveal all skin, muscle, and sinew had been stripped from his torso and his body almost completely dried of blood. In one hand was a scalpel, and in the other, a blood transfusion vial.
None of the men treated for wounds that night, in that camp, saw the end of January, 1945.
The German Medic,
the last sentence should be removed, it makes it better.
agreed.
The last sentence is what gives it the irony
oh shi-
I liked. Alot.
I think I’ll be the german medic for halloween.
The Nazi’s were far more disturbed than that if you have been to Germany let alone be near Hitlers main training base. You learn a lot, such as the experiments they conducted on imprisoned mates. One of the most notorious doctors was Dr. Josef Mengele. He at one point attempted to create artificial Siamese twins by sewing two mutilated children together. And some times fed human flesh to the subjects, And himself!
He actually was ordered to sew them together in the shape of a swastika. Some crazy shit.
They also shrunk the heads of death camp inmates to use as paper weights, they dissected brains of Jews to see how they thought, they were some fucked up people
So he used his own skin and blood to heal his patients?
one dedicated doctor
I’ve never been sure on this one. Did he use his own flesh and blood in an attempt to heal the patients, or did something else use the doctors flesh and blood to try and heal the patients?
I’m more inclined toward the latter as it’d be impossible for a man to continue to rip off his own flesh and draw his own blood long enough to tend to numerous wounded… I guess that’s meant to be the creepy part if it was the medic, but it makes much more sense that someone or something else used the docs body to patch people up, then posed his dead body for them to find the next day. It was dark after all.
Yes, but it would be alot creepier and yet also a little more “awww he cares about them <3" if he used his own self, stripping himself of all flesh and denying himself the right to die in order to fix his patients.
well, don’t you think that he would have blacked out due to the intense amount of pain that it would cause? Just a suggestion, good pasta though.
Yeah, but like SJ said, maybe the doctor saw it as duty to heal the patients and wouldn’t let himself die without at least trying.
NOW YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO DIE BANE!
sorry ur comment made me think of that
THEN WHO WAS GIRLISH GIGGLE?
It was the Spy!
What I don’t get is the medic didn’t use his healing beam.
this one has too many questions
why did they die? who was laughing? how did more than one get blood transfusions if the doctor is one guy?
Why is the sky blue, Why does cookie monster not have diabetes, why can’t we eat each other without gagging, why is that dinosaur in my living room? life is full of questions.
*INSERT TEAM FORTRESS 2 JOKE ABOUT MEDIC CLASS HERE*
Kind of useless for him to go through all that trouble just for them all to die.
Why didn’t he use his tunic to bandage the soldiers?
WHO WAS MEDIC’S SKIN?
This is what happens when medic tries to heal anyone other than a heavy. Lol
SPY SAPPIN’ SENTRY!
I keep imagining the TF2 medic, who coincidentally, is also German.
I have never been so afraid to backstab a medic before. I fear his coat might fall off.
Why couldn’t he just use the flesh and blood of the freshly dead soldiers? Maybe he was possesed…
why didn’t he use his clothes?
I mean, better naked than dead.
…unless he had a small package. then I understand.
I wonder, in the first paragraph, what the girlish giggle has to do with anything?
THEN WHO WAS CACKLING WITH ALMOST GIRLISH GLEE?
Seriously. o.O;
Why did they all die?
They were in a war.
1. They died of mortar fire.
2. They died of gunfire.
3. They died of other reasons that would happen in war.
i agree with the first guy, that last line just makes me think “what the heck, he just gave himself to them so they could live [in an epically cool way], that’s heroism, not an omen of death.”
but yeah, medic using himself = super creepy.
I think that’s it supposed to be that something used the medic’s body to heal them, and it was the one laughing.
…Or it was a spy.
My theory is that the medic fucked himself up off of drugs and was cackling madly as he tore himself to shreds.
But that’s just me and my crazy-ass mind.
I agree with the first person.
The last sentence screws it up.
