Fast forward a couple hours, patient exhibits severe fibromyalgia during a certain military exercise.
I think your complaint will be resolved with mediation.

No negligence that I can see.

You should be ok.

I was an SAF MO myself before. I did learn that there is no one who is going to support you at the SAF. All the commanders who keep saying training is important and all will say "I not doctor I dunno. I let doctor make medical decisions"

And as you know there are no definites in medicine. Better to err on side of caution and be an advocate for your patients.

While your army record may not be good and the commanders hate you it is only for 2 years.

Whereas if you were found negligent or a complaint goes to SMC it is FOREVER.


There is no medal for helping SAF conduct their training. Little gain everything to lose.
