Robert "Doc" Werner joined the U.S. Navy at age 16 when his friend's mother forged his own mother's signature. His goal was to see the world by sailing around on a ship. Instead, he served as a Navy corpsman attached to U.S. Marines In Vietnam and received three Purple Hearts due to injuries received in devotion to serving with those men.

Werner vividly describes the job of a a Navy corpsman, walks us through each of his injuries including the time he and a wounded Marine were left overnight in the jungle after a rescue helicopter came under fire.
