Bobby Jorgenson is the medic, who replaces Rat Kiley. He is a specialist with complete higher medical education, who is constantly engaged in the maintenance or restoration of human health through the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and injuries. This is possible due to the knowledge of anatomy, physiology, disease, and treatment, the science of medicine, his experience and practice - the art of medicine. 

The author has a negative attitude toward him rather: “I kept seeing Bobby Jorgenson's scared-white face. Those buggy eyes and the way his lips twitched and that silly excuse he had for a mustache. After the rot cleared up, once I could think straight, I devoted a lot of time to figure out ways to get back at him; Diaper rash, the nurses called it. An in-joke, I suppose. But it made me hate Bobby Jorgenson the way some guys hated the VC, gut hate, the kind of hate that stays with you even in your dreams”.

Bobby Jorgenson had the very hard relationship with Tim O’Brien: “The nights were miserable. Sometimes I'd roam around the base. I'd head down to the wire and stare out at the darkness, out where the war was, and think up ways to make Bobby Jorgenson feel exactly what I felt. I wanted to hurt him”.
