Default A Question about Fleet Boats and Medics

How did the Captains handle medical problems during a Mission?
For example a broken leg or an Appendicitis etc.?
Or wounded allied airmen picked up by the boat, maybe with burns or bullet wounds?
Did they had an Doctor on board or did they had to abort the mission if the status of the wounded was more than "slightly wounded"?
Did that happen to a Fleet Boat?
How was the Medical capability of an Fleet Boat like the Gato or Balao Class?
One Corpsman or two or even more or none at all?

If anyone has links about the topic or links where books can be bought about the topic it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
