Publisher Description
At age thirty-eight, Navy Dr. Richard Jadick was too old to be called up to the front lines-but not too old to volunteer. This is the inspiring story of one man's decision to enter into the fray-and a compelling account of courage under fire. Both wrenching and uplifting, On Call in Hell is a portrayal of brothers-in-arms that few will be able to forget. Awarded a Bronze Star with a Combat V for valor, Jadick has become a modern American legend-and a true American hero.

A Must Read
Provides unique insight on modern warfare from a physician-solider's perspective.
Exceptional!
The book does great job first of telling a compelling tale. In addition to that is the insight into the military medical organizations, the challenges of battlefield medicine, and individuals who make it function. It also provides a clear and unique view of the battle for Fallujah. Finally, it does all this with a great deal of respect for those marines that become patients. I have been recommending this book to all my medical school classmates that ask me about military service. Excellent book!
Great read
Got the book because of the picture I seen on Facebook. Ordered it and didn't put it down until I read the whole thing. Thank you Sir for the recognition of corpsman.
