I was just wondering if anyone has ever been a doctor in any of the branches of military. Did you like it? What are its pro's and cons? I have read the Student Doctor Forums online, and it seems like the general consensus is that military medicine sucks. However, I'm not really sure if this is just a bunch of disgruntled army doctors ranting in one place online, and if the happy military doctors don't even know about the website. If anyone has any info, please tell me. Thanks!

I can tell you as a military patient that we do not always get the best doctors, but I guess you can say that about any place. All in all I think the military doctors are just like the rest of the military, a sample of society, you just have to deal with the military rules (and no malpractice).

certain, the protection rigidity has docs, yet when your plan is to develop right into a medical professional, I fantastically recommend antagonistic to enlisting. once you're enlisted, it turns into extra frustrating and unlikely that you'll surely bypass to med college and develop right into a medical professional. At a minimum this can postpone you taking off any college by using a pair years, no longer counting any deployments. See a recruiter about officer concepts for docs. that is by using far your acceptable wager. There are countless courses obtainable for medical pros, yet once you enlist, countless of those are taken off the table.

Military doctors if they get deployed will treat a lot of trauma patients. You might see a lot of head injuried, and unfortunately amputees.

Not a doctor.
but......
I recomend the HBO documentary.....
Bagdahd ER.
It was real, it was honest, it was grafic, it pulled not punches, it showed our troops as the brave men and women they are, it showed brotherhood, and honor.....
but it shows the horrors of war.
