abstract="Geiger charges that the Defense Department's plan for the Civilian-Military Hospital Contingency System, to be activated in the event of a &quot;large-scale&quot; war overseas, is actually based on a scenario of &quot;limited&quot; nuclear war. He argues that physician participation in a plan aimed at coping with the consequences of nuclear war is unethical because there can be no effective medical response to any nuclear war. Moreover, physician participation in nuclear war &quot;disaster&quot; planning may increase the risk that such a war will occur by misleading the government and the public into believing that adequate medical care would be available.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
