    My father served as a medic. He is the nice, calmest, and most level headed person you will ever meet. One of the few times I saw him lose and needed to be held back started with an argument over helping wounded combatants. The other person who never served in any armed forces advocated killing all wounded opponents. My father stated every injured soldier he encounters will receive care no matter what uniform is worn. If anyone tried to interferes with his duty to help the wounded, even if it's a friendly, would not survive the battle. The other person walked away with a bloody nose and my father treated his bruised knuckles. I will be sending him this video

    Reminds me of the story of a German soldier who crawled out to a wounded American who had his legs shot out from under him. As soon as the German scooped up the man and stood all fighting stopped as if someone flicked a switch. The German walked calmly across the field to the American line and waited until a stretcher was brought and he lowered the wounded American onto it. He turned and walked back across the field to his own lines and astonishingly not another bullet was fired that day.

      You are possibly refering to the story of Friedrich Lengfeld, and if that's the case then I gotta disappoint you with reality.
      It happened during the battle of the Hürtgen forrest. A US soldier stepped on a landmine and was screaming loudly in pain in the middle of no mans land. Lengfeld ordered his troops to let any medic pass to the wounded GI to save him, but took it into his own hands to save the wounded man after US medics failed to show up after a couple of hours. He and his squad rose the flag of the red cross and went towars the soldier, directing the Americans toward him too. Unfortunately, he himself stepped on a landmine and the shrapnel gravely injured him. It is also unknown if the GI survived.

      They still happen, it just isn't ever covered by the media. I've heard of a few instances of it happening in Ukraine too, usually with Russian medics, granted it isn't to anywhere near the same level of heroism as with these two.
      There's also the issue of "Doc" having become the most dangerous person in the entire squad among grunts, especially in the US forces. Not because he's the most deadly shooter or anything, but because even looking at him threateningly, or especially shooting in his direction, will result in that entire squad- if not their entire platoon- coming down on you with all the fire and fury they can muster. The Geneva Convention becomes the "Geneva Suggestion" if you mess with Doc.
