The original "Rhino-Rocket" was pretty much a just a tampon...the newer variants are hemostatic gauze or soakablw foam over a balloon that goes is and applies internal pressure...step up from the "rubber chickens" and using a Foley...though I still keep the Foley in the tool kit if we don't have...

You'd be surprised how many men freak out when you tell them about the tampons in their nose :rolleyes:

Consider them first aid supplies for nose bleeds...used to be in my trainer's kit for that reason until purposely designed nasal tampons became available...which in their original iteration, were just expensive menstrual ones with a fancy nasal sounding name too them.

Me too - both Good Frank and Sarcastic Frank...

Nice camera...

Get your doctor to print off all your vaccines to date and sign/date it or your provincial immunization record(s) - if they're up to date, won't get as many as you think...otherwise you're arm's will be kinda sore at inopportune times...

That's what I thought all these new posts were...

Neuronal transplants in a large percentage of the population...

When you do your Enrolment Medical interview, you're asked about this during the history taking both on questionnaire and face to face. If there is anything that comes up, you're given a letter or letters to take to the appropriate care providers to elaborate. I'd have loved to have had access...

They'll want to know when you started, stopped and rationale for both, as well as what the likelihood of needing it again and if a condition was associated , likelihood of recurrence.

It may or may not - they MAY want a good explanation from your doc as to why you were on TRT or GH or whatever you were being given AND lab results showing that you don't (a) actually need the stuff - ie dysfunctional hormonal axes and (b) that your body wasn't harmed by it (liver issues, etc)...

Given recent changes and such, I've given up hope of figuring out what your crystal ball shows other than do your medical and await what the Recruit Medical Office says...oh and do what you need to do to stay healthy, regardless of the outcome.

I remember the day after a particularly nasty mine strike we had in Croatia and this nonsense coming on TV...was a little surreal given that.

T'is but a relative term...

Unsure how long it'll take for the RMO to respond - as you're H2 and within CEMS, it may just end up in the recommend enrolment so no worries there...it's up to them at that point.

You're an H2 which is a pass for CEMS, though the issue becomes why is it you're hearing is like that - as an example, otosclerosis (think arthritis of the tiny bones of the middle ear that conduct sound becoming really sticky) is a progressive disease - something the CAF doesn't like. If they...

Almost looks like presbycusis - age related hearing loss, if it weren't for the uptick in the 6-8000Hz ranges...otosclerosis can look a bit like that too...and noice induced hearing loss if exposed to high frequency sound. Did the audiologist give you any impression?

Watch "Fridays with Frank" on YouTube - he does a lot of good things...even to people most of us would likely throat punch after 2-3 seconds of them lipping off... If you get an episode with his Sheriff doing a ride along with him, the Sheriff tends to let folks of with a warning in lieu of a...

I guess that's potentially more life threatening than a tractor pull...
