Do flight surgeons see combat?
Do flight surgeons see combat? As a Flight Surgeon, you will fly into combat and humanitarian situations to administer emergency medical care. Often, you will care for patients both on the ground and in the air.
Are flight surgeons actual surgeons?
The title “flight surgeon” is a bit confusing, because most of these doctors are not pilots, nor do they perform surgery. However, they do work to help crew members navigate extreme stress and medical problems they face while working in the air or in space.
