i'm already completed my first week in BMT. and my back problems jus got worst. it hurts more than usual. i had back problems even before i go in. but was PES D for bout a month, before giving me, PES B status.
what should i do? someone pls enlighten me.
see MO lor
will they like refer me to a specialist or jus att b/c?
specialist referral by MO will take fking long time... best u go and see one on your own
att b/c will depend on how bad the MO thinks of ur condition
so all i have to do is report to my SGT bout it than, they will take me to the MO right

if you tell your 3SG, they'll ask you to report sick to see MO, if the pain is so unbearable to you then maybe you should either ask the MO to refer you to a specialist or you go and see a specialist yourself.
Go to a poly clinic and say your back pain and ask for a referral to any hospital you want. Get a memo from the specialist and show to the MO. Most of my friends with back problem eventually down PES to C9L2.
dude, just go any hospital a&e for consultation. You should get a specialist referral within a week. That's how efficient they are.

Seek a specialist when you book out.
Are you using a comp in the camp? If you are, does that mean you are on ATT B?
Well, to be honest to you, if you seek a MO, they will unlikely send you to a spec unless your back problem is causing you immense pain or you are unable to walk straight because of it. This is because the medical board has just put you into PES B from PES D, and there is no reason for the MO to challenge this decision if your back problem is "painful, but still acceptable". You will likely get ATT B instead and excuse heavy load.
let me share my experience.
I have a slipped disc. For cost reasons, my specialist at Alexandra hospital sent me for an X-ray and ultrasound scan. These were not high resolution enough to detect my slipped disc.
Finally she sent me for a MRI at NUH. This costs over $300. I was immediately downgraded.
yes, only got memo, then got talk...
or else, you will be shown the door...
well you jus have to go to any poly clinic take reference letter then go government hospital for medical appointment can liao. else if you rich jus go private specialist take then show. you wan to confirm down pes one. can. go to east shore. there got doc that write memo. you wan what they write what. but price $300. you tink worth go ahead. :)
just go a &e urself la
u go urself = 1 wk
go by saf = 4-5 mths
so, what do u think?
