Summary
Commander Jadick earned a Bronze Star with a V for valor for his service during the Battle of Fallujah. He volunteered to go to Iraq and in November 2004 he accompanied the first Battalion, Eighth Marine Regiment there. As a battalion surgeon he lead 54 navy medical corpsmen assigned to the battalion. Jadick and other doctors developed the concept of forward aid stations to care for casualties on the front lines instead of having to transport the wounded for miles to aid stations. They treated the wounded during the Battle of Fallujah � the worst street fighting Americans had faced since Vietnam. His new memoir is On Call in Hell: A Doctor's Iraq War Story (written with Thomas Hayden). [Broadcast Date: March 7, 2007]
