In the Canadian Forces, a Flight Surgeon is any Medical Officer who has completed the Flight Surgeon's Course at the School of Operational Medicine at DRDC (Defence Research and Development Canada) Toronto. They are awarded their wings upon the completion of the course and are entitled to wear them for the rest of their CF career.
Famous quotes containing the words surgeon and/or wings:
“Each body is in its bunker. The surgeon applies his gum.
Each body is fitted quickly into its ice-cream pack
and then stitched up again for the long voyage
back.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“And this is the moral—Stick to your sphere,
Or if you insist, as you have a right,
On spreading your wings for a loftier flight,
The moral is—Take care how you light.”
—John Townsend Trowbridge (1827–1916)
