Notes

Jose should be described consistently as a field medic, not a combat medic. His work includes reaching casualties in dangerous environments, controlling immediate threats to life, stabilizing injuries, and preparing patients for evacuation or advanced treatment.

His manner is restrained and procedural. He focuses on the next necessary action and acknowledges uncertainty without allowing it to become paralysis.

“Sometimes the right words are better than a bullet.”
