sincere question: Trump as Commander in Chief and Walter Reed

My understanding is that most of the doctors are in the military. What can Trump do as CiC ?

If he were an ordinary person working with non-military doctors, it seems it would be a different situation.

Can someone help me understand the overall situation ? Thanks.

Steve

He is their CIC. They must obey all of his legal orders.

Let him give the orders that will speed his passing.

How soon before all the med personnel walk out in disgust?
