Do military docs ever get the opportunity to set up "shop" in a third world country or tropical areas (i.e. areas with prevalence of infectious diseases) to practice medicine? Or is this beyond the scope of the army and left soley to organizations like WHO and Doctors Without Borders? Essentially I'm just wondering what "cool" experiences, aside from serving country and soldiers, one could get from being a military, and specifically army, doc. For an example, although not exotic, did military docs go down to help with Katrina victims?
Thanks.
Thanks.
