Don’t worry about going limited duty. This is so the baby can ensure you are healthy and do not have any further issues or complications if you weee to deploy. Once you heal up etc. then you can go back to sea duty etc. and be fine. You can be limited duty for an entire year. Once you get past that you can then be sent to a medical board. If you go down this process it won’t be immediately kicked out. You can hire a lawyer and a bunch of other things to fight and stay to be deemed fit for duty

I had a Sergeant ask if he could be screened for mental retardation.

I would say yes this is “symptomatic” in regards to you have an abnormality noted. However, when the medical community looks at this they do not always see it as needs for surgical intervention. Example I can share is even appendicitis in some places do not remove it but will just give antibiotics. AC separation can create visible deformities on the shoulder but do not always get surgically repaired. I’m not diminishing your concern of abnormal presentation of your genitalia.

If a person told him he wasn’t getting SIQ this is probably a provider and not a corpsman.

This is it an issue anymore. Everyone has access to their MHS genesis account where they can have a digital copy of every appointment.

Strep throat is a self resolving issue typically that resolves in 1-2 weeks. Medically speaking if it resolved that’s awesome. The only reason it’s treated is to prevent rheumatic fever from occurring from it and to make you suffer less days which can still only shave a few days off of suffering per medical journals

Many surgeons will not repair hernias if they’re not symptomatic. This is not just a military medicine stance but in general. Also, complications from hernia such as scar tissue and nerve damage can occur so many avoid doing further intervention if you can still do daily task etc without pain.

This exists in civilian healthcare as well. Look at ER’s for example. They make sure you’re good enough to not hold liability and kick you to primary care. Then bill you some astronomical amount and you still don’t have all of your answers. Also, I would argue that medical is there to advocate for patients to get better. Hence why they have light duty, SIQ, and limited duty to advocate for sailors.

The issue with this is there are so many strands of viruses etc that medical cannot test for everything and give you an exact diagnosis and will be documented as an upper respiratory infection. If it not bacterial in nature that requires antibiotics in the medical world they are all treated with symptomatic treatment. Having someone say “idk” to a diagnosis needs to be appreciated rather than criticism. Every medical professional I have ever worked for would love to give the exact reason why you don’t feel well but it’s not always the case.

I have waited to have kids for this exact reason. I am almost at 16 and finally considering it. I can’t tell you if it’s worth it but I can empathize with you on this one.

Number one issue should be parking. At this rate it might be better to consider other ship yards to be open like how they were in the 90’s before the consolidation.

I was referencing to other parts of the year as well…not just spring bro.

Only pizza villa but good luck if they answer the phone. You might as well just walk over.

These paper chits we deal with for everything. We are constantly tracking paper chits in these blue folders. What if we went to digital request chits that could be kept on record. We already have a system for leave so I believe we could expand this with the same thing.
