I’m surprised nobody has commented on lying at MEPS. You have two choices. You can either do what your recruiter told you to do, and LIE to everyone, or you can tell the truth. The decision you make decides the outcome of your entire Enlistment experience. Think of this like one of those choose your own adventure stories. I’m going to tell you how both go, since I had the honor of going through MEPS twice.Option 1. You tell the truthSo I first enlisted to join the Marines, and my recruiter, shady as he was, told me to be honest while I was in MEPS. So when I got to the questionnaire where you have to fill out your medical history, I was honest…I wrote down that I had headaches sometimes, vertigo, had been depressed for a while, thought about suicide (because what teenager hadn’t at one point in High School), etc. I was pretty damn honest. Well, The doctors weren’t having it I guess because I got disqualified based on past history, and couldn’t join.Option 2. You lie.So my second go around, I decided to join the Army. This time, my recruiter tells me to lie…”I don’t care if you’ve got AIDS, Cancer, etc…just say you’re normal so you can get in”. So that’s what I do. every box on every form that had something negative (history of heart problems in family history? Nope. History of Depression? Nope). No NO NO NO NO NO NO. Read the big ass sign on the wall saying “Failure to answer truthfully can result in jail/fine/etc…Signed my name and was done. I shipped off to basic training a few months later.You need to decide for you how your MEPS experience goes, try to be honest, because certain things (like your chronic Asthma) they’ll find out sooner or later…and if they find out you lied once you’re in Basic or After, the punishment for lying will be a lot stiffer.Good luck…I wont rehash what others wrote…MEPS is an ALL Day affair, like 5AM - 5PM. sometimes it can take multiple visits…it’s cold, you get shit food, and it makes the DMV look like paradise.

Thanks for A2A.Do you personally prefer a male or female doctor? What experiences have lead you to this preference?My current GP is female (Ob/Gyn in fact). Over my long history of chronic illness, I have found that female doctors are generally better listeners, and less inclined to be dictatorial toward the patient.While at Uni, the students’ doctor was male and noticed a tab of skin on my inner thigh. When queried, I answered that it had always been there since childhood. He asked me about sexual activity. “What’s that? There’s obviously none of it in my life,” but he still insisted on sending me to a sexual health clinic in case it was a genital wart! After something like 30 years, I very much doubt it would have remained alone. Eventually, I went to a totally different practice and had all potentially embarrassing skin tabs “burned off”.I know there’s a potential for racism in what follows, so I shan’t mention the specific race, but I’m deathly afraid of having to attend our local A&E when a certain female doctor is on duty. She is scatty and unfocused. She needs to be nailed to the desk or chair to get a proper consultation. “I’m here because I’ve damaged my ribs. I don’t care what you think about my blood pressure—for me that’s in the normal range. FFS! Can you even stay in the same room for 30 seconds?” A friend of mine has a mother of the same race, and her behavior is nearly identical.Obviously, that is all very general. There have been male doctors in my history whom I’ve found to be very helpful, and there have been females who were stand-offish and dictatorial.I have to admit a bias toward male chiropractors. After tearing T5/6, it simply won’t adjust in a prone position and requires what is called a wing-lift of such vigor that most women are simply not muscular enough to accomplish.

Oh, we read them. We base the start of your plan of care on them. As the nurse doing that, I go over everything. The doctor I work for uses it to be sure he covered everything. It's very common to forget something when you have the doctor in front of you. This is my profession and even I do it. We expect you to forget something.Then it gets scanned into your chart, there, forever. I refer back to those forms if, for example, your labs turn up something life threatening and I can't signNow you. Who was that you listed as an emergency contact? Hope it's legible. Heck, I hope it's filled out! ( If it was entered before my time, it might not be. Now, you can't see the doctor without it filled out.)It's so important my practice asks you to re do them every year. Patients hate it, complain about it, loud! But if I had a dollar for every time I couldn't signNow someone in this day and age of fluid phone numbers, why, I'd have several more dogs and we'd all be living somewhere warmer!And…oh, you have another doctor? We didn't know that. And they prescribed what? Did what tests? We don't know if you don't tell us 99.9% of the time. You would be amazed how many patients don't bother to tell their primary care physician such important things like…they went to the ER, had an MRI, see a cardiologist, and..etc and so on. We don't automatically know. We should, but that's another story.Feel that paperwork is beneath you? Are you too busy to fill it out? I see that every day too. You know what that tells us? That you don't value this very much. That you are so much more likely to be non compliant, not take meds, no show for appointments, maybe fib a little….a lot… your lifestyle choices….how, if you take your meds. I mean, come on, you can't even follow directions to fill out paperwork! How do you expect us to take you seriously, when from the very start, you don't offer us the same courtesy.If there are any doctors out there, not reading these things, shame on you. But in 30+ years, I have not seen it. As for the doctor asking you about it, well, mine works very hard to get it right. And even the most earnest patients forget something.

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed. I am just trying to show you examples that you are most likely being connned.Below is an email response I received after I sent an inquiry to the US government when I discovered I was scammed. I received this wonderful response back with lots of useful links on how to find and report your scammer. And how to learn more about Romance Scams.Right now you can also copy the picture he gave you and do a google image search and you will hopefully see the pictures of the real person he is impersonating. this doesn't always work and take some digging. if you find the real person you can direct message them and alert them that their image is being used for scamming.Good Luck to you and I'm sorry this may be happening to you. please continue reading the government response I received below it's very informative.   You have contacted an email that is monitored by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command.

Facsimile.Yes, you read that correctly. In the 21st century, when the power of the internet can provide instant secure connectivity to transfer enormous quantities of data, U.S. hospitals pour millions and millions of dollars into EMRs that aren't compatible with each other, necessitating reliance on an ancient technology from the '60s unknown to the majority of human beings born in this country past 1995.In case you're curious, this is the process I usually go through:Step 1a: Make sure patient is conscious, can communicate, and has capacity to consent. If any of the above do not apply, hope that patient has legally recognized party that can consent for them present/signNowable.Step 1b: Hope that patient or other related party remembers where they were treated, or at least enough information to successfully Google the treatment facility, like a street name, an intersection, anything. Hope that previous treatment facility still exists (they're obviously not getting care there right now for a reason, maybe the reason is because it's shut down).Step 2: Fill out, by hand, an extensive form to be signed by the patient explicitly consenting to the release of their medical information by the other healthcare entity.Step 3: Before asking the patient to sign the form, spend time explaining to the patient why access to prior records is necessary. Deal with patient reaction.Best scenario: Patient just nods, smiles, and signs form.Ok scenario: "Doc, I don't get it. I'm obviously here because I want treatment. If my past records are needed for treatment, why can't you just get them without having to go through me? Just do whatever it takes to get me better already." Patient signs form, shaking head.Stressful scenario: "Why the %$#& are you wasting my time with this @$#%&*!# instead of treating me?! If you need the *&@# records just get the $#@%ing records so we can get this &^*% done!" Patient throws pen in my face.Step 4: Find a working fax machine. This can be harder than an act of Congress.Step 5: Fax the form to the other facility. Hope their fax machine is working. Hope they have someone working at that time (at 3AM, this is not guaranteed). Call them to (hopefully) confirm receipt of the fax and explain that I need this information ASAP. If this step fails, try not to feel too much frustration that I spent over 2 decades studying to become a doctor only to be stalled by a piece of hardware that even my parents didn't own.Step 6: Wait for the other facility to find the requested records. This is, of course, assuming that they have someone working in medical records at that time. Even if they do, it could still be hours.Step 7: Receive, by fax, a bundle of grainy scanned papers from other facility. Hope desperately that the information I need is in there. Groan in realization that Control-F isn't going to help me and I need to search through the entire stack (sometimes hundreds of sheets, depending on patient's history) by hand to find what I need. Enlist medical student assistance if possible....and people wonder why I'm so obsessed with EMRs and how they need to be improved.

An acquaintance of mine is enrolled in a trial of a new vaccine.It has been through a number of trials and reviews, and her trial will be the last before it gets approved for the public, unless a problem crops up in the results of this trial.Its a double blind trial, so neither she, nor the doctor know whether she received the regular vaccine or the experimental one.She went for an interview to determine whether she was a suitable candidate, had a medical exam and past medical history taken. It took over two hours to go through all the particulars, then she signed into the trial. This was not a waiver of liability, but more permission to share her health data with those involved in the trial.She was shown how to fill out forms that would detail any health problems she had during the trial. Anything that she took a pill for or saw a doctor for is documented.She gets called regularly. For the first week, it was every day, to make sure there was no immediate reactions. After that, its a weekly telephone interview about her health.Every now and then, she goes into the office (I think monthly) for a checkup.She gets paid a small amount for each visit. It covers gas and time.So far, there doesn’t seem to be any ill effects. She hasn’t turned into a zombie or sprouted any extra appendages, so it looks promising.
