Just like in civilian life - thing is - in the military system, you can't sue for malpractice, so doctors who are not good just keep on practicing.<BR/><BR/>One area that is always terribly understaffed and underbudgeted is mental health. These guys and gals have nowhere to go for help. If they seek treatment and have a security clearance, they risk losing their jobs.
