Sickbay doctors

[Sarah]

Medical charlatans whose skills and attitudes are typical of the practitioners found in military sickbays and working for [the Veterans] Health Administration. They pretend to be able to diagnose and heal like other doctors, but are generally [unqualified], incompetent, and lazy. Sickbay doctors lack curiosity and are usually ignorant of the latest advances in medicine. Most are simply inept, but others may use techniques, substances, or devices for the [prevention] and treatment of disease that are known to be ineffective and possibly dangerous.
