M for Morphine, T for Tourniquet. We still did that when I was a combat medic in Iraq many years ago. We were long past doing it in blood or mud though. If they're hit badly enough to need morphine, they're almost certainly going to be in shock. If they're in shock, they're sweating. It's going to come off. So all the line medics in my unit carried sharpies. M for morphine, along with the dosage and the time. T for tourniquet along with the date and time.

He survived that gunshot wound that went across his torso and eventually regained full use of his body. However, the injury caused severe nerve damage — to the point where any physical contact, even something as simple as a touch or a hug, brought him excruciating pain for the rest of his life. On this seventh rewatch, I just caught a funny inconsistency in the dialogue: Renée says early on that she’s from Bastogne, but later claims she came there for the same reasons as Augusta Chiwy. Lady, you were born and raised there! That said, Renée was a real woman who did help the Americans during the defense of Bastogne — and tragically, she did die on that Christmas Eve bombardment. And at the 1:03:00 mark, I just noticed Nixon chewing out Dike for not being around and for repeatedly being caught talking on the CP radio. I love this show for that reason, so many different little details.
