CombatDoc said:I suggest that the reason the advice you get from the Med Techs may differ from the final decision is that each case is assessed individually, by a Medical Officer. It is not because the medics are trying to CYA or are lazy.
I was referring to the civilian doctors being lazy/covering their asses, not the med techs. I am in the application process right now, and had to get information from a specialist who I last saw 4 years ago. I asked if I can come in for an examination/consultation (offered to pay out of pocket of course) and he brushed me off saying it isn't necessary. I don't think they approved my medical. Will have to wait for the letter of doom shortly and go over it with the local med tech if I don't understand it all.
