Some Eugene Roe Headcanons That No One Asked For

Whenever they run across a well stocked aid station or field hospital he always pockets a couple of extra syrettes and bandages.

When he gets his hands on supplies he splits them evenly between himself and Spina but if there is an odd number and it can’t be split evenly, he gives the most to Spina without making it obvious. (Spina is terrible at both scrounging and stealing and Roe knows it)

If he had been part of that Hershey bar scene, he would have just taken one and no one would have protested because it’s Doc and he saves their asses. (Of course he wouldn’t have had to take one because Luz would have offered him one because again it’s Doc)

Some of the doctors at aid stations are stuck up sons of bitches who look down on medics as lesser versions of nurses in combat boots. Roe steals their cigarettes while cursing them out under his breath in Cajun.

Roe is one of the few not intimidated by Speirs. Really he isn’t intimidated by any COs. He’s here to do a job, take care of his company, and if anyone, no matter the rank or reputation, gets in the way, he will put them in their place.

He teaches Spina Cajun words. Or at least tries to. Once, just to be a little shit, he taught Spina some made up words that sounded absolutely ridiculous. But Roe couldn’t keep a straight face and Spina caught on.

He has everyone’s past and present wounds and illnesses memorized. Everyone’s. He knows their wartime medical histories better than he knows some of their names.

No other medics do rounds like Roe does. Spina was surprised when he joined Easy and found out that Roe insists on at least two rounds every day, one in the morning and one at night. It helps him keep track of how everyone is doing and sometimes brings to light things that the men wouldn’t normally complain about. Spina quickly gets used to doing rounds too.

Roe loves sweets. Spina swears every tooth in Roe’s entire mouth is a sweet tooth.

Babe: I can explain.

Roe: Can you?

Babe: If you give me thirty seconds to think of a lie.

Webster: I did something and I need advice, but I don't want a lot of judgment or criticism.

Liebgott: And you came to me?
