Yes. I'm sure my reaction is amplified by me having a bit of a doctor phobia/being extremely uneasy in medical care situations, but to me, the medic did not come across as comforting in the slightest. If I were in that situation (barring shock, etc.), her "bedside manner" would have likely made me have a panic attack on top of everything else.

My husband pointed out to me that she was trying to keep him from going into full blown shock. Makes sense to me, she was doing her job and keeping him from breaking down so she could finish up and keep him safe.

I didn't realize how many experts in trauma care are here, (sarcasm)
It was very real in the way the corpsman treated her patient, it was very real,
Just my opinion,
Be well, be good, and for Gods sake,be careful!! -

That scene was moving to me
Yes, she was slightly "robotic" to listen to (from a movie viewers point), but in that moment it made perfect sense. And the captain needed exactly what she provided
Calm, professional, direct, reassuring, friendly, unsentimental
Extreme contrast to what he has just been through, which made it powerful and moving -

When you have a head injury they ask you those kinds of questions. I was in a car accident as a teen where my friend and I hit heads. When my Mom took me to the Doctor, he asked me questions like my name, date, time, year, who the President was at the time, etc. That is one way they determine how serious your head injury is. If you can't answer them then you are in trouble, because that means you have a serious head injury and more than likely internal bleeding.

I agree you're an idiot.
Yeah.. says the stupid fkhead who decides to insult someone else for no real reason.
"ugh.. that guy's comment sound stupid..I'll go insult him". That's basically what you're thinking.
Unless you're a fking idiot yourself, why else would you do that? sthead. -

I wanted to throat-punch her every time she told him to calm down. Anyone with four minutes of training would understand telling a freaked out person to calm down has the opposite effect, if any. Next, I can't stand medical people who keep adding "for ME" to every instruction, always trained that self-absorbed idiocy out of my techs and assistants.

I know I am late on my reply. I finally watched this movie today. Anyway, they have to be that way in order to keep the patient calm. Watch the TV show Untold Stories of the ER and you will see, they are the same way. They aren't being cold, just trying to find out what happened, what their injuries are, etc.

I thought she was amazing. When I was watching it, I thought she was so convincing, she must be an amazing actress beyond anything I can remember seeing before, and wondered if she WAS in fact an actress or a real medic. Now reading here that they used a real medic, it all makes sense. Really great decision to use her, and yes, the best scene in the movie IMO.

Having been a medic in the army, I can agree with those who wrote that she was professional, in the best meaning of the word. Her job wasn't to empathize or be nice, but rather to deal with any IMMEDIATE life-threatening situations. Everything else can come later.

I used to be a medical transcriptionist. I never transcribed for the Navy Seals, but I did a lot of transcrption for an ER and most of the ER doctors' dictation sounded similar to this.
She was professional and focused on calming him and finding out what exactly his injuries were under all that blood. They played this scene perfectly.
