I was the medic on Adriatic VI for several years and was my first job offshore. Loved that dang hunk of iron and learned alot from the best crew in the GOM. I didn't know the draw works from the mud pumps when I started. Those guys took me in and made me family, now I sit in an office making money off the knowlege they gave me. Keith Mesker was our supt in Lafayette and he was the man. When I had trouble with my employer, he went to bat for me to make sure I was taken care of. But I busted my arse to take care of my guys - many a nights sticking IV's for dehydration on boat rides in 20' seas with a whole crew sea sick, hiding expired vials of phenergran to handle the nausea and vomiting because they wouldn't send me what I ordered. Those guys appreciated that and we took care of each other. Nowadays..........it's different!
