Yanyanyan8881 SG

hi people, i help u all can help me.

Im posted to service medic this monday. as medic, injections all that need to be precise and steady hands. but i have essential tremor so my hands will tremor and when nervous i cant control things. WHat can i do? ask for change of posting?

ifish SG

if u dont have any excuse letter, doubt can change. many have gone through it. so, just do it.

Yanyanyan8881 SG

im excuse firearms n gernade during bmt becoz i cant handle things steadily n precisely. so i can use the letter to voice out? i dunno i cant go thru it well or not. ppl w/o this problem also shiver.

Lokey SG

I remember the CO will meet and screen every1, before starting the course, anyway there is nothing medically strange in SMM, so you can speak directly to the sgt or mo, who is a medic or mo himself.

Yanyanyan8881 SG

thanks. i will sound out. if they tink im fit to, i will happily do it.

service medic ok lah, there are post like dispensary, MO pa, counter, med log. they dont required IV or injection skills. Anyway it is the MO or the senior medic who do the IV in E case.

hi people, i help u all can help me.

My friend is an excellent medic and his hands also tremble terribly.I have yet to see him fail IV.His hands trembles even at rest.They will not grant u leave due to tremors.

As for Route March,i never did any whilst i was on course.Never heard of anyone doing it before,not my seniors,nor my juniors.

For the medic bags,the reality is that they only have a few to spare.Medical centres like mine with over 20 medics got only 8 bags for all of us.Interesting thing is that there's an AED in the bag.Lose it and die.LOL

My MO does not do IV during E cases.We do it on the patients whilst they are on the resus table as well.As for Senior Medics,when was the last time u see any in action??Luckily my SM is quite good.She stays and supervises us,unlike the majority that will leave it to the medics and MO.The reality far outstrips the nobility of the Corps

voltrons. SG

so how often we do the injection thingy? any idea?

Lord_Nazrul SG

Once to twice per week.Make sure you pass the 1st round.I never missed on course so i did not suffer but for those that missed on a few attempts,they had to redo it and it was terrible for them.IV is a piece of cake.Once you get the hang of it,easy-piezy.I dont even need to do a figure of 7 not make sure the arm is secured.LOL

we inject ourselves or buddy?

I'm posted to service medic on Monday but I got a TP test on the next day morning (Tuesday), so who should I speak to regarding applying for a leave? The chief clerk when I report or...?

Thanks greatly for your help!! :)
