While my fiance was active duty he was referred to a civilian doctor to have surgery. During the surgical procedure a instrument was broken off inside him and left there. He is worse now than before he had surgery. Ultimately the military medically discharged him; he can no longer work. Does anyone know if the military can be sued for referring him to this surgeon? OR, can the military sue on his behalf? His career of 20+ years ended as a result of this surgery.|||1. No, can't sure them for the referral.
2. Sue the operating Dr, the Military will not do it for you.
3. Sad to see a good career ended that way.
4. Good luck to the both of you.|||Make sure he has copies of all of his Medical Records
both Military and Civilian...
File a Disability Compensation Claim with the Dept of VA,
his Treatment for that surgery is Free for Life...
They will back his claim up from
"Date Of Discharge"...
Get in touch with a DAV Service Officer...
(Free Service)
They have Offices in all VA Regional Offices and
most VA Hospitals...
Also file a Disability Claim for Social Security
Disability (SSD) do that tommorow as there
are time constraints on filing.
You can Sue the Civilian Doctor as he is not
covered by the same BS the Military Doctors are.|||he wont be able to sue the military for referring him to a civilian surgeon. thats what the military has to do if they do not have the right treatment or room for him at that time, which is probably why they referred him in the first place. the military did not know before hand that this surgeon was going to break an instrument off in your husband. however, you should be able to sue the surgeon, he definitely shouldnt have his liceanse. i would talk to someone at legal, they can give you more advice on how to go about this.
good luck!|||You can sue the federal government under the Federal Tort Claims Act. However, I think it's unlikely you would win in this case. The best cause of action is against the doctor that did the surgery. Better get with a lawyer asap because there are strict time limits. Usually 1 or 2 years depending on the state.|||No you cannot sue the military. You can and should sue the civilian surgeon and have him charged with malpractice. Such an incompetent person should never be allowed within 100 miles of a hospital. See the people at the VA hospital, they may be able to help.|||The military cannot be sued for medical malpractice at all. If they could, a referral is not malpractice. The doctor that screwed up is the one who is responsible. The government's only responsibility is for disability pay.|||nope you cant sue the gov. because before he joined the military he signed a paper stating that him or anyone else could not sue the US government for any reason. i don't know about the doctor that did it though. definitely go to the VA|||You can't sue the government and the military is part of the government. I suggest he contact the nearest VA office.|||no. but he CAN sue the surgeon himself for malpractice.|||"Tyler L" is wrong. The other posters are correct.|||Go for it, Call your Lawyer.

How can i know if my military unit was awarded any combat medals?
I was in the military years ago, i was discharged shortly after returning to the states. How can i find out if my military unit was awarded any medals that i am entitled to?|||Such as what? If the unit still exists try searching for it.
The link to the 7th Cav has a list of unit awards at the bottom. 2nd Bn is the only to get any after Viet Nam.
Any personal awards is a matter of requesting it from the correct location. That depends on the years you served and which branch. start at The National Archives.

How obscene is military propaganda useing Jimi Hendrixe's music in movies when Hendrix is dead?
If he were alive, he would absolutely object to his music being used by a corrupt death machine which serves the only purpose of ruling rich elites that Hendrix sang against. He's dead with no control of his copyrights, and the military takes advantage of that.|||If it was not for thge Military, you would be Mucus, idiot
How did the military help the North win the Civil War?
What are some specifics as to how the Union's military helped them win the Civil War? Please be specific! Thank you!|||First off, the north had many advantages with regard to supplies, manpower and resources. Also, the North had a Navy, the South did not and hoped that Britin or France would help them with that. Neither could enter the war when Lincoln announced the Emancipation Proclamation.
The Generals of the North were an incompetent, jealous and bumbling lot until Lincoln recognized that Grant understood how to fight that war. The numbers favored the North and Grant knew that. He was unconcerned about what lee or any of the other confederate generals did, he wanted them to worry about him and they did. The Union army launched a three pronged plan in 1864 under Grant that proved decisive.
1. Grant would pursue Lee and destroy the army of Northern VA
2. Sherman would take Atlanta, destroy the industry there, march to the sea and ruin the countryside, then turn north through the Carolinas hoping to destroy the will of the southern citizenry.
3. Sheridan would sweep the Shenandoah Valley and destroy the breadbasket of the confederacy, starve the soldiers and the people of the CSA.
All ended up successful, thus the CSA could no longer fight.

For my military folks what will a good strategy to win in afganistan?
I want people who was in the military or people with military expertise. To answer the question what strategy do we need to adopt so Afghanistan doesn't become vietnam part two. I don't trashy liberals answering this question, no nutcase 9/11 conspiracy theorist answering this question. I want people with military expertise to give what they know.|||The same way we won the cold war, we have to appeal to the new generations and have the old hateful way of thinking die out. It will take years of good will and fighting for that old way to die out.
Killing and destroying will have the same affect as torturing a prisoner, he will hate you and fight back and tell you lies.|||Not to withdraw from Iraq all together but gradually. If we leave right now this will be the next Vietnam. Afganistan is all about the people, if you portray ourselves as a bad person all the future generations will side with the Taliban, etc, causing a huge pain in the *** for us. If you've read the news lately you'll notice that the Taliban is spreading into Pakistan rapidly, we must stop this before we're in 2 countries fighting again. But considering what happened to the Soviets during their war in Afgan we must not follow their step or we might end up like them.|||The same one that has one ever other war.....kill as many of the enemy as possible, destroy their homes, infrastructure and culture....they will get the idea.|||fire Obama... for a start

How will the military tell the difference if the two parties are homosexual?
The difference between fraternization and sexual discrimination? If the same sex have a relationship and they are in the same military unit, if there is a fraternization complaint, can't they complain too and say that they are being discriminated?|||Tyler is reffering to the "Don't ask Don't tell" policy. They don't like gays in the military, or at least gays that are open about it. So complaining about being discriminated against in an organazation that is against homosexualality will more than likely get you nowhere. fraternization is like enlisted fooling around with an officer in their chain of command. Not neccesarilly the same thing as sometimes the officer or enlisted is female and other is male. And its only bad if you do it with someone within your chain of command.|||They get kicked out under DADT...
How long have military surplus stores been in operation in the US?
How long have they been in operation in the Northeastern US?
Have military surplus stores in the US always sold the same sort of things they sell today, or have certain things (like BDUs) been off-limits at times?|||ever since there was military surplus items.
