The Story of Doc, Lifeline, Stretcher and the medics who kept G.I. Joe alive when the lasers stopped flying.In this episode, I take a deep dive into the doctors, medics, and rescue troopers of G.I. Joe — exploring how the team’s battlefield specialists balanced conscience, courage, hover sleds, and the occasional tetanus bluff across comics, cartoons, and toys. From a Harvard-trained pacifist to an idealistic rescue runner to an Olympic strongman hauling wounded Joes out of tracer fire, I break down what made each one different — and why G.I. Joe was never just about firepower.
