He gives a number of insights about the role of doctors inside a military organization and offers a wealth of lively anecdotes as he describes his daily ministering to a ceaseless flow of patients with medical problems, large and small. As he takes readers on board for a glimpse of what happens in this steel-walled city of close to 6,000 sailors, it becomes immediately obvious that carrier life is dominated by the ongoing need for order and efficiency - that mistakes can have monstrous consequences.

Who gets the call if it all goes wrong at sea? Meet Dr Ben MacFarlane. After spending a year as a repatriation doctor, he's heading around the world as a ship's doctor - and with 3,000 passengers and crew to look after he's in for the most exciting trip of his life. On one dramatic voyage he deals with broken bones and broken hearts, and picks up the pieces after fights in the crew bar and freak accidents on shore leave. So join Ben and his colleagues and find out why ship's doctors think bar stools should carry health warnings, why the casino can be safer than the sick bay in a storm and why no amount of sharks, pirates or tidal waves will ever be as dangerous as the midnight buffet.

CAPT Bohnker followed CAPT Terrence Riley (FS) as Senior Medical Officer onboard USS FORRESTAL (CV 59) in the summer of 1990. As he reported onboard, real-world events of the First Gulf War changed the ship’s schedule and drove events for the next year. CAPT Bohnker presents the experience of extended workups, deployment and change in home ports to Pensacola Florida, with another change in home ports to Philadelphia shortly after he left. He presents a gritty recounting of the day-to-day experiences of an Aircraft Senior Medical Officer who must interact with the seaman recruits to the rear admirals. This was lived out in the uncertainly of variable real-world changes originating several levels up the chain.
