b'Imagine being shot through the chest by a sniper in Ramadi, Iraq in 2004, and surviving. Imagine completing a 4-year enlistment as an infantry Marine, surviving combat, and then going on to become one of the Army\\u2019s elite Green Berets. Now imagine finding out several years after surviving the sniper\\u2019s round, that you have terminal lung cancer that was misdiagnosed by the military, and there\\u2019s virtually nothing you can do about it. That\\u2019s the story of Rich Stayskal. Because the alleged misdiagnosis occurred while Stayskal was in the military, he cannot sue the federal government for malpractice, all due to an obscure 60-something-year-old law known as the Feres Doctrine. But, you can\\u2019t be a Marine and a Green Beret without being a fighter. And that\\u2019s exactly what Rich Stayskal is doing \\u2013 fighting back, against cancer and the misdiagnosis. Hear how, on this latest episode of HAZARD GROUND!\\nwww.feresdoctrine.com\\nWe also want to thank Rich\\u2019s attorney, Natalie Khawam, for joining us on this episode to provide the background on Rich\\u2019s legal case and the Feres Doctrine.\\nDo your Amazon shopping with us, and give back to veterans organizations at the same time!
