His presentation of his "findings" was, to say the least, transparently obsequious. I've worked in the realm of medicine for most of my life. No physician talks like that without incentive.

And, yes, what he reported was utter nonsense. It's sad to realize that his ambitions far outweigh his ethics. After my personal experiences, my opinion of Navy medicine was already low enough. Shockingly, it has become monumentally lower.
