Dr. Michael Doidge is a historian working for the federal government. He is an expert in the history of military medicine, with particular focuses on joint medical policy, force health readiness, epidemiology, mental health, traumatic brain injury, post traumatic stress disorder, and suicide. Dr. Doidge just published his second article on the history of suicide in the military. This article compares U.S. civilian and U.S. Army suicide rates from 1900 to the present.
