Petty Officer 2nd Class John H. Holscher spent the day here performing dental exams on Iraqis like this little girl, Oct. 24, 2008. He's a pillar of health, literally. At 6"3' and 210 pounds, armed with six years of college and eight years of military experience, Holscher is a veritable tower of care and comfort for the people here, regardless of nationality. Not that any of them have a choice, because the next nearest medic is more than 100 kilometers away. "The biggest challenge to being out here is being the only doc. [Iraqi] medics depend on me to train them, Iraqis patients depend on me, taking care of the Marines, going on every patrol, and then the villagers, I can't take care of them all," said Holscher, corpsman, Border Transition Team 4222.
