I had some fine doctors in my many years on active duty in the military medical system. Some of them weren’t.
In our town, I wouldn’t go to about half of the doctors.
As ‘Dear Abby’ said once in one of her columns, “half the doctors graduated in the bottom half of their class.”
From what I've read the biggest problem with the VA system is in administration and not really medicine. And I believe that's the problem with all government bureaucracies. The best and brightest don't graduate college hoping to find a government sinecure somewhere. they want to make their mark out in the world. It's the marginal, or worse, performer who sets his sights on a government job and most of them would Never make it in the real world. Yep...that's true.
