How would rate your medical care in the military? What improvements would you like to see?

I believe that it depends both on the physician you see as well as your location. I loved the care I received in all of my CONUS locations mostly because they seemed to have time to explain things and had the necessary resources with better communication. OCONUS, has been a nightmare. Going to landstuhl, and my location is not only time consuming but downright expensive. Especially if you have a dependent with medical issues who have make multiple trips. As far as OCONUS physicians go, I feel that they seemed rushed because of there limited resources and time to see soldiers. For example: I made an appointment for two issues and was asked which one was more sever. I now tell my soldiers to make multiple appointments if there are more then one issue.

I am very satisfied with the medical care I receive in the military.  I am currently at a location which has a clinic which provides the basic things.  If I require anything out of the ordinary like an MRI, surgery, etc, we are sent down to Landstuhl.  I for one definitely cannot complain about the level of care that I have received there.
