1. yes, it is the largely the same people. As opposed to completely new people all the time?
One thing is absolutely consistent either on this site or in the milmed clinics; docs know there is a problem and are voicing it. Students and residents don't know this because they have not "lived it" yet.
2. About 1.2 million people
, including myself, have already recommended that those contemplating a stint with milmed contact lots of people outside this site. Best would be those people doing the job you might be doing when you first become a doc (that would NOT include a recruiter, residency doc, or admin type of doc).
3.I would like to see a description of those docs you met that appeared to like milmed. Odds are they are residency instructors, admin or similar. Odds are they are not FP docs seeing 25+ pts day in a regular clinic (outside of the USAF Academy).
4. Odds are you are a resident or med student who feels JUST like I did when I was a resident or med student. I certainly got the "wake up call" when I arrived at my first base and discovered milmed was trashed.
Hopefully you end up somewhere not as "trashy", but those places are few and far between.
