Serious help needed....
-
Im suffering from severe pain in my right leg. Its not the normal kind of pain, something like the whole leg including the bone is pain. As I booked out only yesterday afternoon, there are no polyclinics available for me to visit. Im in the 5th week of my BMT
I have to book in by 6pm today, and I have not seen a doctor about my condition.
I dare not see my MO because my CSM has told the whole platoon that whoever sees the MO for whatever reasons and miss out on any training will kenna RT(basically means cant bk out). 2 of my bunk mates was confined this week just because they att B even though their injuries were genuine.
What should I do? See the MO first? Or see a private doctor? But I dont think an MC from a private doctor wld be helpful...
Can somebody advise please? Thanks! -

see a doctor first. don't get a permanent damage to regret later

Thats a big risk. Im not sure if my leg condition is serious for me to attend C...I would get confined for this weekend if att B.Originally posted by tarutaru:if you need to see the MO, you need to see the MO. -
The only SAF accepted doctors I can see now are the hospitals. I dunno if they will charge me the subsidized rate since I have no referrals.Originally posted by Lin Yu:see a doctor first. don't get a permanent damage to regret later -
Sure, go to the A&E of any government/restructured hospital. You might have to wait a while but it's free if you present your 11B.

Do not risk any sort of injury. NS is only 2 years. Even if you are forced to burn your weekend, its just a weekend, better than doing any permanent damage to yourself. If your CSM just confines anyone who reports sick and gets a status, he is really unreasonable.

yup yup.Originally posted by whitenoise:Sure, go to the A&E of any government/restructured hospital. You might have to wait a while but it's free if you present your 11B. -
You should really see a MO. Don't be afraid of your CSM's threat.
Talk to your OC and PC if needed and explain to them that you genuinely have a problem. -
Go straight to your officer and go past the CSM.

Sounds more like a dead leg or charley horse to me, or general muscle ache-cramps-spasms (due to your BMT exertions).
Try a few gentle exercises or simple stretching & then see if it's still that crippling. -
Really? NS men dont pay a cent when seeing doctors in hospital on mainland?Originally posted by whitenoise:Sure, go to the A&E of any government/restructured hospital. You might have to wait a while but it's free if you present your 11B. -
NSF, not NSman.Originally posted by shade343:Really? NS men dont pay a cent when seeing doctors in hospital on mainland? -
thats just for consultation only or does it include medicine, surgery ect ect?Originally posted by chanjyj:NSF, not NSman. -
I believe all is covered as long as you go to a public hospital or its referred to by MO.Originally posted by shade343:thats just for consultation only or does it include medicine, surgery ect ect?
1 of my friends who went for eye surgery had it all paid by SAF since hes a NSF. -
Never do this! Xiao Lee is a good example for bypassing the proper chain of command. If the management make a big fuss about it, you might even be charged so don't be stupid.Originally posted by chanjyj:Go straight to your officer and go past the CSM.
Go to the proper channel. You don't have to tell CSM the problem, just inform him that you are going to see your OIC or OC or whoever higher than him. Tell your CSM that he will not be able to solve your problem thus you are going higher. This is not breaking the chain of command.
You can also tell your CSM first. If he threaten you, you can go higher and higher than that of course there is consequences might be good or bad. Good is that your officer will support you and refer you to MO immediately. Bad is that you will be "marked" by your officer by trying to act injured but actually lazy. So 50-50 chance.
How is your SA with your officers? Better chance if you have good PR with them. -
Talk to the DI, or your section commander, first lah.
If still told to continue as per normal, there's always the duty medic in attendance during a training activity. -
I often did this. And when I got promoted, I allowed it. Some CSm/RSm can be !@#$ up assholes with a weird sense of self-esteem.Originally posted by pentan3008:Never do this!

However, if the RSM/CSM is not that type, I will usually let him handle it.
