First Helix shift done. Contaminated wounds are messier than the training files make them look, and evac time is uglier than the reports admit. If you're applying for battlefield medicine, delete 'I want to save everyone' from the essay. Replace it with 'I can make decisions when there aren't enough hands, beds, or minutes.' Less pretty. More honest. And if the combat-track ace sees this: there's something in your locker. Not a goodbye letter. Don't open it with that face.
