rotatores said:militaryMD...can you be my role model. I sincerely hope to one day share your negative outlook...b/c your posts always seem to brighten my day.
I'm sorry you got "screwed" in the military...but enough already...I think we're all (excluding haujun "prior enlisted" and JKDMed) tired of hearing you complain.

Andrew_Doan said:I love how the sour grapes in the military forum ruin a nice post. I may have little military experience, but I'm not clueless. I've met over a dozen military ophthalmologists who love their careers. Perhaps, they are all brain washed and telling me lies. I think not.
However, my original post was not about my experiences. I was commenting on what COL Gagliano has done for military medicine and the Iraqi people. If you can't see what he is doing is awesome and that military medicine can be a wonderful thing for our troops and the people they heal, then you must be too focused on negativity to see the bigger picture. The Army is performing state of the art surgery and ICU care in tents. They have sophisticated equipment, and established a burn unit in the desert. This is amazing.
Thus, my original post was not about my experience. It is about COL Gagliano, who is a leader and positive role model for all you military physicians. Take a deep breath, and learn to see the beautiful things in life!

The highlight of the Mid-Year Forum for me was meeting COL Donald A. Gagliano. He is the Commander of the 30th Medical Brigade in Iraq. He established the medical system in Baghdad for our troops and helped build the medical system in Iraq. He gave Iraqi physicians a voice in a system that squelched their ideas and creativity. He brought in residents from surrounding countries and trained them. He gave lectures on trauma medicine to the Iraqi physicians.
His troops delivered high quality care to soldiers, civilians, prisoners, and children. He established a state of the art burn unit for war victims. The care delivered was sophisticated. The military had an ICU and burn unit in the middle of the desert. His accomplishments in Iraq are awesome.
The inspiring thing for me, who is destined to be a Naval Ophthalmologist, is COL Gagliano is a board certified ophthalmologist and retina surgeon. Awesome!

Homunculus said:it's funny, lately i've been getting more of the "grass is greener" from the civilian docs talking about the military. when i started medschool, attendings i would run into would always say that HPSP was good, but they couldn't see themselves doing it, yada yada. within the last 2 months i've had at least 4 attendings tell me how they think the military would be a great place to practice because it would eliminate the worries about malpractice and the business aspects of running their practices. i even had an ortho surgeon (who was AF stationed at Sheperd AFB for 4 years) tell me that if it weren't for the moving she'd go back in a heartbeat.
anyway, just an observation.
