hello MO,
I'm excused loud noise environment and livefiring, firing of blanks for 84days by MO after he saw my specialist letter.
The problem is, my specialist's mindset is that if the MO thinks that i deserve to be downgraded, he will do it.
But IMO, the MO is too busy to check diagnose and see whether i deserve a downgrade. I never mention to my MO about downgrading or revocating when i see him. He just straight away say ok and give me the status.
How should i approach my specialist and get him to write a memo recommending me for a downgrade -
i guessed that ur case statement will be generated pending medical board in the meantime,Originally posted by ChristopherWong:hello MO,

as the official medical directive gom states that:
1) any attend C mc MORE than 28 days will need to get endorsed by the medical board.
2) any status EXCUSE mc MORE than 84 days will need to be submitted to the medical board pending KIV discussion for downgrade. -
the MO mentioned about the 84days to me.
that he can give me max 84days status without sending my case to the medical board -
I have a long medical history of moderate asthma. I also have running nose (sinuses) and difficulty in breathing.
I also have previous incidents of bone fracture in my right hand and left knee (patella). I went to the hospital for the left knee fracture.
I also have a back problem which I am unsure of. I don't sit properly, I slouch.
I can't stand in the sun for too long as it will cause me to be dizzy and makes me close to fainting especially during my NCC days.
When I am nervous, my heart beat rate faster than usual which will cause chest pain and uncomfortableness.
I have a phobia of seeing unexplanable things such as ghosts. My heart will beat very fast and I will just faint.
What will the MO advice me and the PES status? -
whatever it is... ur multiple problems... just tell cmpb doctor one by one specifically... dig up all supporting documents such as specialist letters/memo and show doctor....Originally posted by ismail:I have a long medical history of moderate asthma.

for ur respiratory problems like asthma n sinuses, it is considered common nowadays... so it is pes b category.
for hand and knee fracture, i knew some guys with both knee replacement surgery done b4 get pes c2l2.
BUT...
other than that, as all u said above is preliminary medical symptoms... but no final diagnosis is given, thus, it is inconclusive to tell u any pes u MAY be in... e.g. blood test result? , x-rays? , hospital specialist report?....etc.
fainting spells can be attribute to hundreds of possible medical conditions... e.g. low blood pressure, high blood pressure, hyperthyoidism, low blood sugar level...etc. same goes to back problems as well... e.g. muscle inbalance due to long term improper standing/sitting/sleeping positions? , slipped disc? , spinal bone spurs thus pinching spinal nerves?...etc.
so without specific final diagnosis, there is nothing we can advise u on...
ALL MEDICAL BOARD CASES NEED PROPER AND QUALIFIED SPECIFIC MEDICAL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS AS EVIDENCE... AS ALWAYS, NO PROOF NO TALK !!! -

to all, let me say again... i m not a doctor... i said this b4 many times...
it is just that during my ns time, my vocation is sort of a liaison between the camp medical centre n the manpower branch. so in order to do my jobscope, i need refer to all these medical board case results, hence... came to know some 'what diagnosed medical condition names get what pes' here and there... as the work done always refer to specific medical condition names... so not so much on the signs and symptoms... -
hey eac,
you mentioned above that any mc stating any excuse for more than 84 days will have to be submitted to medical board to kiv for downgrade pend? i asked you a question previously about my knee injury and went to see a specialist. from there i found out from an x ray taken that there's actually a problem in my backbone as well. previously i thought that the knee and back pain was all related cause my previous specialist said so, until this x ray proved otherwise. so any chance of a downgrade? im c2l1.
thanks bro -
even so, its still pes c range... maybe land code to go to l2/3/9, as most back problems go to c2l2/c2l9...Originally posted by sityden:hey eac,

if u wish to pursue the matter, then pls put forward ur case to ur camp mo 1st.Originally posted by sityden:but the cumulative knee and back problems which causes me not being able to move (cant walk properly, pain when weight shifts to knee, cant bend back to 45 deg) i will still be c2l2? sorry for the long windedness, just want to get things done here. thanks
OR
u go get specialist letter to write down both knee and back problems 1st, then revert back to camp mo.
either way...
how to ask the specialist to write... put ur acting skill to use, keep repeating both knee and back pains, act pity to gain sympathy... the letter in the end must put "in view of his medical conditions, pls downgrade him accordingly."
that's all i have to say. -
