Doctors of Defense – The Whistleblower: After assisting our reporting behind the scenes for months and supplying medical records, a military physician turned whistleblower goes on the record with our national investigative team – opening up about his experience working in DHA facilities from coast to coast. This Ivy League educated surgeon with decades of experience raises major questions about the military’s lack of transparency, its ability to safely treat patients and points out a massive problem in the system – low surgical volumes at many military hospitals that put service members and their families at risk of harm or death. After fighting for years for records & even basic statistics, our team uncovered data from a new source that supports his claim, painting a pattern that’s raising alarms. Senior National Investigative Reporter Joce Sterman talks with one of the nation’s most prominent healthcare quality experts about our findings, the military’s attempts to shield information from the public and what he thinks could be done to fix the system responsible for treating hundreds of thousands of service members and their families.
