How to handle ATT C?

last SG · 2006-06-23T19:54:53+00:00

if that serviceman/woman kena MO's Att C... you pretty much can't do anything. All you need to do is make sure they are home. Not home doesn't automatically...

Not true..

But in the past when CPLs and above have to serve half a year more, I know of kengsters who got promoted to CPL to make them serve longer. That trick can no longer be used now.

HAHAHA!!!! nice one…reaally kill two birds with one stone…the malingerer might really believe tt his unit thinks highly of him and thus wants to promote him….maybe he wld. even stop malingering….the unit on the other hand gets to make him pay for his chaokeng antics….

well arrange a vehicle to pick up the serviceman from home and bring him back to report sick.

Btw, if this serviceman is having lot of MCs from different clinic then most likely he is malingering.

Tell him ATTC means stay in camp. Coz safer for him- He has shown a tendency to be ill; hence he needs to be in an enviroment where there is medical coverage 24/7. The camp is such an environement. Plus, Army food is very unlikely to upset his stomach.

So even if he report sick outside, tell him he has to come back to camp so that his status can be monitored and he can receive the best possible care. Of course, if he can get himself admitted into hospital (and wants to pay) then fine. Fair play to him. Smile

Edit: To up the BS factor (and piss him off more) remind him that as a member of the SAF, and as a person in whom the SAF has invested alot of time and money, the SAF has a vested interest in ensuring a speedy recovery.

Personally, I'm inclined to agree with you on this issue. But I draw the line at malingerers who are out to get their mates into more work due to their absences.

I'm all for RSO, and I never forced the guys to RSI.

No doctor will tell you the diagnosis of his patient...it's medical confidentiality.

Just inform the MO of your conccerns, we have ways to detect malingerers....

i'm really curious how you all do it...i've heard of ppl. getting 3 mths for a shoulder op and 6 mths for a knee op respectively at a pte. hospital where a person undergoing a similar op at a govt. hospital wld. prob. have gotten only half of that...

(1) from what i know, the med. officer's hands are tied when dealing with mc-s of more than 28 days right? because it can only be approved or reduced by the medical board...correct?

(2) so if there's medical confidentiality, how would the medical board know the true extent of the svcman's injury; assuming that his injury is indeed distinct and diff. from those of others...

More than 28 days...let the medical board decide..I don't think the Mo's hands are tied...his recommendation at medical board carries alot of weight.

The medical board consists of doctors...no problem with confidentiality there..

Once got a superior dun allow one guy in my bunk to report sick at private clinic. Only Medical centre, hospitals and polyclinics.
But the guy was sick and his parents are somebody. Parents very angry and the MP call and write letter and the last I heard the Regular still stuck on same rank.

Good for the Regular. Want act garang. Cannot stand such people. Worse than malingering itself.

wah...fierce sia...that chap probably had alot of arrows directed his way after his mc...
