    Psychiatric Information Required for Recruitment

    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...

    Declined due to medication

    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.

    Declined due to medication

    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)...

    Reserves Medical Query

    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.

    Reserves Medical Query

    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?

    Police Officers doing good things

    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...
