My experiences with medical file reviews are entirely positive, since I was usually the one doing the review.  ;D In your case, I suggest that you check the links that Mariomike posted or use the search function. Your question has been answered ad nauseum.

You should be fine, but, only the RMO will make the final decision.

Clearly he is someone who has fallen on hard times and has an addiction. Although not excusing what he's done (ie theft), I am disinclined to throw stones and instead feel compassion for him and his family, as well as his school's victims.

I suspect that what most people find easy in their 20's and 30's, is not as easy when they are in their 40's and 50's. Also, what is relatively easy for a 180 pound person is not going to be as easy for someone who weighs 100 pounds and is moving/lifting (e.g. Sandbags, Drag) a much larger...

I can probably help, despite not being a recruiter. PM sent.

I suspect because the trial data on effectiveness are not yet available, and also cost. But, perhaps a CTS or LCMM type can chime in. I did like the phrase in the article "the new ziploc bloodspurt-stifling apparel".

It was not my intention to drag this thread off-topic from NCDs. However, if the RCN adopts nothing else widely from the CFA toolbox, at least have everyone carry one TQ as PuckChaser suggested.

We will just have to agree to disagree on this topic. I agree that smoke and inhalation injury in confined spaces are a complicating injury. However, every member of the ship's company also needs to be carrying a tourniquet. If you understand blast injury, then you understand that the...

They should be carrying flash gear, tourniquets, QuickClot gauze and Israeli/Olaes-type bandages if they are serious about saving lives (theirs or their shipmates).  The RCN has been slow to adopt the hard-learned combat casualty care lessons from Afghanistan. Naval combat is, after all, blast...

Of course mistakes are made, as you have noted. But this latest post is just the latest with the theme of "my doctor said I had XXX, so I was rejected by recruiting, and I don't really have XXX, so I'm going to challenge the decision". At the end of the day, potential recruits either meet CEMS...

Stop the foolishness. If anyone believes a physician mixed up the diagnosis of "PTSD" between a young male of recruit age and his mother (his mother!), they clearly know nothing about medical records or medical practices Either loganmoore has ADHD or he doesn't. Either he has PTSD or he...

Just get on with it. Stop perseverating about the minor strain you received doing Kipling pulls.

This guy is a Walt Until Proben Otherwise. He needs to provide proof of his claims or be posed as a fraud.

Please see reply #4 above. The CAF will only sponsor you for a residency in Family Medicine, through the MOTP. Once you have served as a General Duty Medical Officer i.e. Family Physician (and completed your obligatory service), you would have the ability to compete for a limited number of...

"Over the past decade, Canada and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) have experienced a major decline in training and education for peacekeeping operations (PKOs), also known as peace support operations (PSOs) or simply peace operations. " An interesting melange of terminology, whereby Prof. Dorn...

There are actually two solutions to your problem that nobody has mentioned. I recommend option 2. 1. Gain weight. 2. Lose weight. Lest you think I jest, I was told at my clothing stores I could have either size 34 or size 38 for a 36" waist. Too big or too small, but, no just right. They...

For your first set of questions, IMO the options that you received from recruiting are "suboptimal".  If he joins as a Med Tech, it will be years before he is potentially selected for PA training. Likely minimum 10 years, despite efforts to shorten the flash to bang. And then he would be a PA...

Michael, my suggestion is to seek appropriate professional help to address what is bothering you. If you have a family physician that would be a recommended starting point. An open forum such as this is not an appropriate form of therapy. If you think you might have PTSD, don't wait any longer -...
