“I beg to differ: I owe my life to military doctors. They are usually superb.”
Depends on your definition of “superb”, I suppose.
I can point to many ruined lives thanks to incompetence of military doctors. I didn’t let my family go near them when I was in the military.
It is a socialist system - perhaps you had enough pull/rank to get the best doctors.
There are good and bad everywhere, but the best ones often leave the military, because they can.
Ah, horse hockey. You’re either completely clueless or just a malcontent. The quality of care I received as a Lance Corporal from the Navy medical system was exactly the same as I received as a lieutenant colonel - outstanding.
A navy medical team got me to the hospital ( Charlie Med, Danang) and saved me from dying of the gun shot wound I got 15 minutes before. I went through five Navy hospitals and a year of surgeries and I made it through 24 more years of service because that high quality care.
There aren’t better quality or more dedicated or more professional medical people on earth.
Wish you’d quit the comic book generalizations: I’ve got 28 years more experience than you have.
