I was at an Air Force hospital as a second year medical student.   After assisting during a knee surgery, the nurse anesthetist and I were having trouble waking the patient.    Our staff physician, however, knew what to do.  “Marine,” he shouted, “this is Colonel Smith.”  The patient then promptly sat straight up on the gurney and replied, “Sir!”
