My experience with military medicine is equally disturbing, but more so on the patient safety side rather than the reimbursement side. We have a multitude of untrained contiuously changing OR staff that currently has reached a breaking point. I now can officially declare our unnamed military hospital’s OR dangerous. Our nurse and tech experience levels are measured in days rathter than years and I need to have eyes in the back of my head to keep my patients out of harms way. Unfortunately, the administration and leadership are turning a blind eye to this. Thankfully, my letter of resignation has been tendered and I am in my 12 month countdown…

So much for big government medicine.
