Military Medicine vs. Civilian Medicine . . . . . .
Federal law prohibits the release of military doctors records to the public.
Their training, certification and complaints filed against them are locked in a military data base. In 1986, the military required physicians to obtain state licenses. A Supreme Court ruling in 1950 resulted in the Feres Doctrine , which prohibits members of the Armed Forces from suing the federal government or its employees for medical malpractice.
