Honestly it looks like the issues proving problematic have more to do with the command climate in your unit than your specific MOS. The quality of life for a medic is equally dependent on the command climate of the unit. Some units really appreciate having the medics. Others see them as "idle", and rather than pushing them to train like they should in preparation for the two way firing range, see only more warm bodies to set to all sort of menial task. Many commanders do not appreciate the value of the medic until troops start absorbing incoming fire. In a medical unit, this is less likely, though they tend to be top heavy, and that can grow tiresome if you are below the rank of O-4. Other commanders get that free time should be spent in clinic or in medical training, and this isn't a bad way to be if you're a shooter in an inf unit. The truly primo medic slots are flight medics on dustoff, or SOF, which are unlikely to go to a cherry medic straight out of whiskey school. So my advice is, don't reclass just to get out of a shitty unit. There are plenty of shitty slots that 68W get into. 68W, like any worthwhile MOS, requires dedication and concentrated study. 'zilla

You should be buried alive if you administer Atropine for 3rd degree block. There are cases of Atropine induced VF in 3rd degree block, and if you think about it, Atropine will increase the atrial contraction rate, thus decreasing pO2 in RCA and decreasing available oxygen for the ventricles. If you administer Atropine for 3rd degree block you are in essence malpracticing medicine, as it offers no benefit whatsoever, and causes side effects associated with Atropine, and further endangers the health of the patient.

Well I came, I saw, I donated. Good luck.
