    The best part about residency is that you start and yon don't know anything, but by the time you reach second year you're a almost an expert and by 3rd, 4th year depending on your residency length you're ready to go out there and make a difference. It's amazing! Dr. Climaco and his colleagues are brilliant. Respect!!!

    People need to realize that the Army is a massive organization and that the experiences are very different. We're all Soldiers, but the lifestyle that we live is as different as any other community of around 1 million people. Can you go the hardcore, field route? Yes, know a few former SF docs that I'd entrust my life to without a single hesitation. Can you do most of your career in a hospital environment? Yes, know a few who did that as well and I have a world of respect for them. One of my best friends was an Army ICU nurse in Germany. She has very serious PTSD because her unit dealt with a lot of the guys that got seriously injured in Iraq/Afghanistan. Hard enough seeing your buddies get hit in sector, couldn't imagine every day going in to see guys that were fighting for their lives with life-altering injuries.
    Right now, I'm a 10 year veteran of combat arms in Nursing school and I keep telling my classmates to look into AMEDD. A lot of people say 'oh no, I don't want to live the Army lifestyle', without realizing that the lifestyle that you lead as a Nurse in AMEDD is dramatically different from what I lived as a grunt in a recon platoon. The things I remember like hazing, fights in the barracks, command maintenance, stupid games from NCO's, living out of vehicles for weeks at a time in the field and combat, etc. just aren't things that AMEDD usually deals with (unless you're one of those hardcore field types). My friend and I have often discussed how funny it is that we were both Army in Germany (based within an hour of each other) and how our experiences were so dramatically different even though we were there at the same time. Great video that highlights what a day in the life of an AMEDD doc is like.

      Every FOB in Iraq had a TMC, major ones had surgical teams running surgeries all the time, plus the CSH in Baghdad.
      But being at landstuhl is a way different beast than being at Darnell on ft hood for instance. Landstuhl just happens to be the closest major hospital to where we were fighting.

    I got 2 appendectomies from military general surgeons. Surgeon number one nicked the large intestine. Three days later, as I was going septic, surgeon number two took one look at me in ER, and immediately started cutting and suctioning. After about 3 min my wife says ‘you know he hasn’t had anything for pain, right?’ Gets fuzzy after that. Have a great scar.

    General Surgeon is called in German language as "Algemein Arzt". On other words "Common Physician" who also operate minor surgeries of every kind but against this there are "Surgeon general" and "Doctrine Surgeon General" and in that the "Surgeon general" is the chief of Medical core and has qualified comprehensive knowledge of every department of healthcare and Surgery but against this "Doctrine Surgeon General" is the actual intellectual Doctrine person of whole health care system all over the universe and is also master of Future synchronized Healthcare system and medical care and Surgeries and at the moment only one Pakistani Doctor is "Doctrine Surgeon General" whose name is "Dr. Raja Haroon Latif".

    Just curious: acting in your capacity as a general surgeon, can you if needed in exceptional circumstances "pull rank" on a more senior officer if they are proving to be a 'difficult patient'? I can't think of a real example, but do you have an escalation process to get around the military rank system when it comes down to a medical case process?

    • @lea-analowery4585

      Great question. The only situation I can think of to answer this is in the TV Series, Star Trek The Next Generation. In that series Dr. Crusher was the only commissioned officer who could give orders to the captain despite her lower rank
      as a commander.

      The Doctor is still in charge...Military Rank is removed when you pass into the Hospital. Other than being treated as a VIP, as you would in a regular hospital. Remember the Comander of the hospital is also, usually, a General themselves.

      Rank doesn’t matter anymore when you are a patient. Of course, if your high ranking, you would be closed monitored.
      Because no matter how high ranking you are, you always have a supervisor in the military. The easiest way for junior ranking doctors to do is call that higher ranking officer and explain the treatment plan. Or have your hospital higher ranking officer to intervene
