Hmmm, wasn't the Honourable Ujjal Dosanjh the same fellow that was implicated in making offers to another MP to cross the floor to bolster the ranks of the then Liberal minority government? Now he, or any Liberal, has the gall to accuse the current government of not being above board? Leaves me...

I'm glad that you mentioned to take the info with a grain of salt since there is a definite bias in the information provided on the website as part of one great big advertisement for "SURGE - The Ultimate Post-Workout Drink." I have a good friend who is a clinical researcher who likes to say...

CF H Svcs Gp Policy & Guidance 4400-39 Immunization of Reserve Force Members Undergoing New Entrant Basic Training Course is the most up-to-date policy on immunizations. The policy is based on courses that are four weeks or longer. If a course is less than four weeks duration then immunization...

The most recent description of Roles of Medical Care is pg 28-4 of B-GJ-005-300/FP-000 CF Operations (dated 2005) and differs a bit from pg 27 of B-GL-343-001/FP-000 (dated 2001). The CF Ops description is consistent with the current ratification draft doctrine HSS to CF Ops. The Roles are...

Don't send chocolate. It melts! When I was with TFK we got a bunch of Kraft Dinner (not easy mac for the microwave, the boxed kind) and we got very good at making microwaved KD. Not everyone's favourite, but it was popular. Microwave popcorn was also popular. Mind you, we didn't have a TH or any...

Hi GINGe, B-GL-005-410/FP-000 is the new HSS to Canadian Forces Ops joint doctrine and is currently only in "ratification draft" stage, so it isn't available for general distribution yet. I understand that it has been introduced on some courses at CFMSS. It expands on the introductory HSS info...

http://www.solgen.gov.ab.ca/security_services/sheriffs.aspx explains what the Alberta Sherrifs do. I work with some of them as an Aide-de-Camp. The group who provide legisltature security and security/drive for the Lt Gov were redesignated as sherrifs recently. According to one of the fellows I...

If you are looking for a diagnosis, see your doctor.

I understand that. Its just the way the wording came out when including the Res F members in the statement.

Thanks for the follow up GO. Its good to know that you are involved in the MAP. That is an important part of CF MH, since as you know as a participant in MAP, that there is still stigma attached to mental health concerns in the military and in the civilian world. Its is critical that soldiers...

Just read in the Edmonton Journal the other day that the Alberta Govt had decided against creating an APP and are sticking with the RCMP. Sorry, don't have the date of the article, because its already been recycled. Was within the last week though.

I asked a young lady what her lower back tattoo was and she quite snottily told me it was "duh a tribal symbol". So I asked her "Really? What tribe are you?" since I didn't realize from my own experience that little white girls with lower back art had tribes. ;D

Reg F and Res F members of the CF who want to volunteer with a cadet unit need to find out from the Area Cadet Officer for the area what the Region Policy is. All adult volunteers must be approved and screened. General policy is that a Reg F or Res F serving member is deemed screened, but you...

GO, Troublesome cases indeed. Let me state my bias up front: I am a health care provider (not mental health) with many years of experience with both the CF and civilian health care systems. Mental health is a challenging clinical area. Your four cases of second-hand, one-sided accounts are...

Aircrew of any persuasion the medical type: "You can't ground me, I have a world trainer flight leaving tomorrow". Medical Type: "uh huh, hope you didn't pack yet"

I think it has been established here and in other places that the press reports on the sensational, not the mundane. The press is the last source one should use for statistical or research evidence. They don't do a great job of reporting the whole story when it comes to research. Here is...

Doesn't matter what colour uniform you wear in health services. It's really purple with a distinct undertone of green to it. You will go where you are needed and given that the Reg F Fd Ambs need med techs, its very likely that you will end up there. Hmm HMCS 1 Fd Amb, sounds interesting. Why...

nsmedicman, I have troops who live 90 mins or more away from my unit and they are welcome. In fact, one of them has near perfect attendance to unit training. Seems odd that you would be getting turned away.

Agreed. I too was so annointed, weren't we at the same annointment ceremony? :king:
