So what r u trying to say?Originally posted by lingster:i had a venomous insect bite while outfield and the damn thing swelled to 4 50cent coins. was sent to medical centre, and waited 3 hours to see the mo. when i did, he asked the usual qns, tried squeezing the insect bite, before saying i will have to go A&E.
then i had to wait another 2 hours to get my status and medicine, go back to company, go back home before heading to the hospital. and the mo made the bite hurt even more with his squeezing lol. -
Hi MO
I would like to check with you regarding about Specialist diagnosis.
After my pre enlistment checkup, I was sent to a renal unit specialist for further investigation. The specialist said that my condition was normal, and wrote a specialist report to the MO so that i could obtain my Pes status. I was not given a copy of the specialist report on my condition.
When I went to enquire whether I could have a copy of the specialist report, I was told that specialists usually do not keep a hard copy of the report that they write. Rather, reports are in the form of writing and are given back to the doctor who referred the patients to them.
My question is: I would like to know is it possible for me to obtain a copy of the specialist report from the SAF MO for my own reference? -
this MO is a real MO?

From what I know,there are MOs and experienced Medics here who offer their opinion.Of course, what we say here is for advice only, and not a binding medical opinion.Originally posted by lousyboiboi:this MO is a real MO?

But are u sure it is possible to request from the MO?Originally posted by tarutaru:You get from MO don't have to pay but if you request for it, think u have to. btw why don't you photcopy the report before you give it to the MO -
You can requested but the MO may not give you.Originally posted by yuleng10:The specialist did not pass me his report. he sent it directly to the MO. But are u sure it is possible to request from the MO? -
You can request and pay for the specialist's letter from the specialist clinic you went to. The report legally belongs to the doctor and vicariously, the hospital he works in. Your MO is not obliged to give you a copy of the letter although I have done so on occasions (unless the policy now forbids it)....and yes, I am MO.

I've shoulder subluxation. I just went for an arthroscopic surgery to stitch up a SLAP lesion. I was given a 2 wks mc, a medical review in 2 wks and a C1L1 downgrade letter.
(1) why is my mc only 2 wks? i'm not a keng-ster but 2 wks is barely enough for your shoulder to recuperate after an operation. It is barely better than it was prior to the op. i'm a combatant btw.
(2) I also have a documented case of allergic rhinitis. would it contribute to lowering my Pes status? and a change in vocation for me? as in, my shoulder problem combined with my allergic rhinitis problem.
thx. -
Maximum MC is 2 weeks after minor surgery, the MO will review after that and decide if you need more. You do not add 2 different disease entities up to downgrade further.Originally posted by alien09:I've shoulder subluxation. I just went for an arthroscopic surgery to stitch up a SLAP lesion.

Dear MOs,

I would like to know approx. the time for it to be processed, where, how long and how is it going to be approved for Permanent Disability (PD) board, and what is the compensation formulae (as in commerical insurance policy) for computation purpose?
Thank you
