Advice: Ask a medic (Ep. 1)

Filed · 1546

Ask A Medic is your semi-regular advice column where you can get advice about all those burning, stinging, tingling questions you are just too damn embarrassed to go to sick call for. The advice of the Doc is not to be used as a replacement for seeing an actual medical professional.

"Doc Feelgood" is a former WWII medic that stormed the beaches of Normandy. He is one bad ass mother fucker.

DEAR DOC: Can I get my girlfriend pregnant over Skype? We have been deployed six months and she is three months pregnant and that is the only way it makes sense to me? -CONCEIVED BY COMPUTER at FOB Altimur, Afghanistan
