No, civilian. I definitely don't believe that doctors who have trouble communicating in English shouldn't be practicing in hospitals.
I was treated (8 stitches in a finger) in an immediate care care clinic by a Chinese doctor whose was a bit hard for me to understand (I wear hearing aids), he did a great job (2 years later I can't see the scar) his medical credentials were top shelf, (Duke, John's Hopkins, interned at a major trauma center, board certified in emergency medicine) far more than I would have expected in a store front clinic.
Today many American born doctors have gone to off-shore medical schools, because they can't qualify for US Med Schools.
