Abstract
November 2008. It is 4am and i am sitting in a shallow grave keeping watch at the perimeter of a harbour area, ostensibly keeping an eye out for the 'enemy'. This is a new and wholly unfamiliar aspect to my life starting out as an army surgeon. The situation is the heathland exercise area behind the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst and the 'enemy' are the instructing staff, who assured us that they would be watching us with night vision scopes. 'Do NOT fall asleep,' they commanded. Well, i could not do so even if i wanted to, thanks to periodic unstoppable shivering.
