Medical appointments are written on the appointment card. So it
is considered as a written-proof.Besides every appointment is
accompained by an attendance sheet or MC.
It is the specialist who give the follow-up appointments, not
the patient.
Do you think that the boss is stupid enough to revoke a medical
appt? If that person happened to be a diabetic or have a heart
problem, and he do not do his checkup on time and happen to die the
next day. How is SAF going to be responsible for it?
In some cases, the person may be taking some dangerous drug with
side-effects. Constant monitoring is absolute, he might have a
medical appointment every 2 weeks or every month.
If the boss dares to step over his line, the person can complain
to his boss's boss. He can also complain to the chief or defence
minister directly. This is an issue of life and death and it is not
a joke to play around.
Besides, do you think it is funny, for a patient to get this
blood drawn every month, or get insulin jab every day?
Medical appointment is a right. Even if the whole unit have to
go overseas 3 months, the personnel will be excluded from training
to attend medical appt. At most, he will be attached to mindef HQ
for the period.
