...for this week’s The Sunday Whirl
,
.
He spent time serving in the army as a Medical Officer. They’d shoot, he’d heal. They’d maim, he’d mend.
To this day, veterans tell stories that blow can one’s mind. How they survived after suffering injuries that should have proved fatal, is incredible. How he did it, they’ll never understand, but do it he did. Memories of their wounds don’t just trigger harrowing memories but also ones they treasure with eternal gratitude.
Nowadays, he has a practice in town, it’s where you go if you bump your head or catch a cold. He hands you a medicinal prescription and sends you on your way. He doesn’t talk about his previous life, he’s more than happy being a humble hero.

Excellent use of the words! The medical people who simply do what they can and don’t seek accolades are the best, true heroes in every sense of the word.
