Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:
This Federal Tort Claims Act suit, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1346(b) (1962), seeking damages for negligent medical treatment by government doctors of injuries earlier sustained by Mr. Sanders while in the course of his work as a government employee, was dismissed on the ground that the exclusive remedy was the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act. 5 U.S. C.A. § 8116(c) (Supp. 1966). As have other courts which have considered the problem, our decisions repeatedly show that the dismissal was clearly correct. See Aho v. United States, 5 Cir., 1967, 374 F. 2d 885, cert. denied, 1967, 389 U.S. 930, 88 S.Ct. 292, 19 L.Ed.2d 282; Balancio v. United States, 2 Cir., 1959, 267 F. 2d 135, cert. denied, 361 U.S. 875, 80 S.Ct. 139, 4 L.Ed.2d 114; Somma v. United States, 3 Cir., 1960, 283 F. 2d 149. Cf. United States v. Demko, 1966, 385 U.S. 149, 87 S.Ct. 382, 17 L.Ed.2d 258.
