Also for active units, during outfield, the medical center medics will be deployed in what is known as the Battalion Casualty Station (BCS).

Before I go into details regarding the BCS, can I ask the other medics here.... are there things about it which I shouldn't be telling everyone?

Do you think there is a free day in the MC?

kuekj SG

wa. the MO has spoken Laughing

anyway, for me working at the specialist medical centre, there's never a free day because we receive appointment requests from all medical centres.. plus ongoing clinics for various specialities. There were some occasions when we had 14 clinics running for the whole day, and medics even sometimes need to stay back because of large clinics.

I had stayed back until 10pm before, and had to walk out to the main road to take a bus. The internal buses serving had 30 minute headways! :S

tarutaru SG
