G.I. Joe Vietnam Nurse Action Figure Classic Collection Hasbro 1999 #81537 NEW

In Vietnam, the work of U.S. nurses closely resembles that of physicians and medical corpsmen. They cared for post-surgery patients by preventing infections, relieving pain, regenerating tissue, and supplying psychological support. Many nurses caring for those soldiers stricken with tropical disease were sometimes forced to bear the burden of the disease themselves, as they often became infected during treatment. For those soldiers whose wounds were so severe that treatment was futile, nurses focused on pain relief and psychological support. Comforting a dying soldier was an essential task, so that the soldier and the family would know that he had not died alone.
