Ever had bad experience with medics?
-
at medical centre or outfield...either happened to u or u witness it
eg. eat-snake medics...when u wanna report sick, u cant find any of them to tend to u, or they do things very slowly or show u black face...or they screw up.
or those medics who take ur blood but cant find vein, then end up have to kenna poke a few times.
or those lousy medics who don't know how to dress a wound properly, or don't know how to react quickly n appropriately in an emergency -
My platoon medic tried to sell back the fags I sold him, at a higher price somemore, nabeh.

1.dont bother reporting sick at 11-12...cos medics all getting ready for lunch...
2.PACES is freaking slow at times
3.If u report sick and there are many others who report sick at the same time as u...dont expect too much VIP treatment...
4. dont bother reporting sick at 4pm-5pm cos they are getting ready to go back
5.have u bothered to put ure feet in the medic shoes?
6.If u see chao keng troopers on a daily basis....being nice is thrown out of the window -
Apparently , Medics get very busy when there are Exercises, Outfields , Morning Runs, IPPT ,SOC ,Etc. (people report sick more during these period)Originally posted by Rockhound:+1

They get to relax when there isn't anything special for the troopers.

1. For every eat-snake medic that you see, remember that there are many other good medics who do their job as best as they can be it in the medical center or outfield.Originally posted by Stooky:at medical centre or outfield...either happened to u or u witness it

2. I can tell you that drawing of blood is not a skill which can be learnt in a textbook. It is not just about sticking a needle in and pulling a syringe. I can tell you how to do it right now over sgforums, but if I give you a needle and vacuum tube and ask you do try it on someone else, I'll bet dollars to donuts that you'll fail.
Besides, different people have different physiological makeups. For some people their veins are closer to the surface, while for others it's further in. Some people have lots of valves in their veins. And not to mention hefty people who don't have very visible veins due to the fat.
Besides, have you ever tried drawing blood samples from fifty guys within half a day? I have. It wasn't easy for me to keep my mind straight after that. You can't really blame the medic for missing the vein if he's tired.
3. Once again, watch the tar and brush. Fair enough, there are medics who aren't committed to the cause and can't even remember basic first aid skills. I had one platoon medic who totally forgot EVERYTHING about POCM (Rockhound and other medics will know what's this) just prior to alert manning.
I was forced to sacrifice one whole day of off in lieu just to come back to camp to give that bugger a crash course in casualty management.
But for every medic like him who aren't conscientious, there are many others who do their job well.
It would do you a whole lot of good to remember that. -
i am a medic myself and now posted to a medical battalion.
NSmen liao...can u imagine, still going back to reservist and everything still need to do IV on each other?
And medics do live IV on one another....
I do agree that there are bad sheeps but i can safely say 8 out of 10 of us try to do our job well..
-
Haha, kena once before, during blood test, the medic poke my left arm so many times liao cannot find the vein then switch to right arm, poke so many times again.
I asked "so how?"
medic "err....wait ah...." he went to get the senior medic.
wala! one time can liao. I feel like training arm for the medic. -

yah...dun deny the fact tt there r good medics out there... but seems like having good attitude n service is not the pt... seen many good medics go unrecognised, but f***** ones becoming 3SG, just because they haf better skills... but they r super arrogant n treat patients like dirt -

once they guailan...dont expect any niceties from me -
some patient are very demanding expect to get MCs everytime they see MO, if they don't get MCs they tend to be guailan or nasty to them medic
-
i remember when i was in my unit, there was one who wanted MC to siam road march....but he did not get MC and the MO order 2 IVs as he say he got fever and been running to the toilet.
When the medics wanted to do the IV, he threaten to beat them up when we go for nite off.
Hahaha...then the senior medic fed up, went to inform the MO and the MO did it himself, not on the arm but at the back of the hand like in hospitals. -
Me remembered me had a super blur medic who attended to me while me substained an injury during a live-firing exercise back in 1996...
Me was shot in the leg by a 5.56 cal round near the knee, so my knee was blasted... While waiting for a heli medi-evac, there's a medic who got freaked out after seeing my leg and was instructed to give me a drip by the MO... Instead, he was shaken from the sight and didn't react to MO's instructions... Then the MO shaked him a bit and asked if he's okie, he was still in a trance... The medic's hands were shaking so badly that me told the MO that the medic might poke wrongly... Afterwhich, the medic was asked to step aside while the MO and the senior Medic Spec attended to me...
And the worst thing was this super blur medic sat onto a drip needle that he left on the stretcher... -
Nah, I usually make friends with the medics.. both during my before and after disruption. Medics your buddy usually quite fast service
Then again, I S1 branch.. They chop chop for me, I chop chop for them
-
Hmm...as practiced, i went for overseas trip before and before ORD must take blood test. So anyway... I was all ready for it...when the medic was about to insert the needle... i shouted STOP STOP!! he asked whats the matter...
i sense something was amiss... then i ask him...arent you suppose to put something on my skin first before poking. hahaha he forgotten to put antiseptic on my skin. and this from a medic spec. hahah...lucky he my friend. if not..i complain senior medic already. hahah -

I got harassed by a medic once. we were on a run and I just could not be bothered. So my friend and I decided to take it easy. Just that we fell to the back. Eventually this medic came cycling up on his bicycle. And he started to ask me to run faster...
Du lan...
Want to cao keng also get harassed. Needless to say, I did not pick up speed. I think he got tired of covering safety for us and rode off ahead.
Lagi Du lan... Medic never cover safety. pui... cao keng also need safety right or not?
