MINDEF and the SAF extend their deepest condolences to the family of the late 3SG Koh, and will be assisting the family in their time of grief. MINDEF is conducting an investigation into the incident
God Bless the soul.

Although u can bring the patient to the nearest medical centre but you also can bring the patient to the nearest hospital if necessary. HQMC MO all 8-5 onlyOriginally posted by Ponders:isn't always the case where serviceman is brought back to the nearest camp medical centre first???
anyway.. nee soon camp is one funny place lah... medical centre is so deep in the camp but HQ Medical Corp right at its door step... isn't the more "qualified" MOs stationed there?
anyway, they should relook the go medical centre first then go hospital if necessary policy...
in this case, i believe when he collapsed, there was no medic at hand since its recreational soccer. his friends got to scramble for help, asking for rover, when one rover become available.. they have to rush to nee soon camp, and so on and so forth... think of the time wasted.
If that's the case the MO would be in trouble btw the medic also can send the patient to hospital if MO is not in......btw duty medic have to call the medical centre to ensure MO is there b4 sending thereOriginally posted by minimalis:Heard that the duty MO at NS Medical Ctr was out having supper when the case came in.
