I hear the shrinks there are experts at detecting chao kengs .... -
uh. wad do u mean?Originally posted by Fatum:I hear the shrinks there are experts at detecting chao kengs .... -
Meaning, the Medical Officer there is both psychiatrist and a high rank officer. Which means that if they know u are trying to keng siao, they immediately charge u without the need to go through any officer.Originally posted by naix_forever:uh. wad do u mean?
For the TS, just bring along ur parents would do, no problems one. As I dun know if u really have a mental issue or u are trying to keng but with my past experience with MOs in the SAF, just bring along ur parents so that at the very least they show u some basic form of professionalism. ( I have seen my fair share of MOs with no professionalism at all) -

bring parents go got one advantage,the pp there might treat u better,as if not they may treat you as an NSFS

u must take care of yourself ts.

everyone may not agree with me on this, but i still think that it is about time TS does things himself.
he has proper documentations as proof already, and why must he hide under the protection of his parents?
if TS cannot stand a little bit of "bad treatment" by a psychiatrist (u dun even know if he is going to treat him bad or not), then he is gonna die in NS.
a boy becomes a man not by joining the Military, but by the decisions he makes. -
Granted, that may be true.
However, the sheer amount of anecdotes I've heard of how NSFs or pre-enlistees who are green behind the ears with regards to such things often do not receive the basic respect they deserve; often makes me believe that perhaps if TS' parents were to accompany him, things will be different.
The alternative is to get someone who has served NS to go with him, at least that someone might be able to see if the MO would try and ride roughshod or pull a fast one on the TS. -
Please bring along the medicine together with u when u meet the SAF psychaitrist.Originally posted by naix_forever:ok thanks for ur advice. er. i haf a childhood medical history of anxiety and stress disorder, and a psychiatrist's documentation of my problems. so i guess they wont charge me. im not siao anyway. >.<

I have a friend who was in this same situation and his parents came down with him. His parents spoke with the psychiatrist and MO there and ensured that they gave him a suitable vocation and suitable status.
I can't say that he would have gotten the same treatment if he was there alone.
If it was you alone, they would be just thinking that you are trying to keng.
The is how the SAF works. Its not a matter of hiding behind your parents or not regardless of what some people say.
If you at the end you find that the evaluation they give you is not satisfactory, do get an second opinion from a private practitioner and seek help from a higher level if necessary. -
I'm sorry, but that is a bit harsh. If someone thinks he may need his parents for a medical evaluation, then so be it! It is not as if he is asking to have his mother be allowed to serve his obligation with him or anything extreme. You are making a big deal out of nothing.Originally posted by Ristar:everyone may not agree with me on this, but i still think that it is about time TS does things himself.

Whatever happens, I hope you'll get better soon.
There'll be even more unsympathetic, if not outright skeptical, people when you enter the working world. -
wat im saying is, it'd be best if he goes alone. independence. since he has proper documentations already. however, if his parents are more aware of his condition, then sure, go ahead. and, for pete's sake. how likely is he going to listen to advises from strangers in the forum anyway?Originally posted by Reveille:I'm sorry, but that is a bit harsh.

his mind is already made up!
in addition, the reply was more for those who say, and imply that, the SAF Psychiatrists will mistreat him, or treat him as an NSF and show less professionalism and all that nonsense.
since u r also making a big deal out of nothing, lets make a big deal out of nothing together. -
bring yr parents better lah .... there maybe some complications that u dont even noe...Originally posted by naix_forever:hi. im due for a saf psychiatric evaluation tomorrow at alexandria hospital saf ward. do i need to bring my parents with me? as i read from previous topics that some of them brought their parents wif them. my parents wish to speak to the saf psychiatrists. also, anyone noes whose the psychiatrists in there? thanks for any replies -
I agreed cause in SAF, MO in general will treat servicemen like CK although there r genuine cases of psychiatric servicemen seeking help.Originally posted by ispyyy:bring yr parents better lah .... there maybe some complications that u dont even noe... -

Right. I have no problem with you saying that since he has the documents, he shouldn't worry about going by himself.

It is just that your line, "everyone may not agree with me on this, but i still think that it is about time TS does things himself," just screams of "GROW UP, YOU'RE NOT A KID!"
