Um. Anything != nothing, last I checked. In fact, they seem to be... hmmm... opposites! Your rheum was a jackass in concert with the board.

And so not surprising. There are people that don't help the situation - my uncle is in the Army National Guard, and when he was called up to go to Iraq a few years ago, he had many valid reasons to not go, one of which isn't even health related. But he was having psychiatric problems, he should not have gone to a warzone after a suicide attempt. But meh, his friends just hushed that up. When they're willing to help, people cover it up. So how can those who need help get it? Former Navy brat, with a kidney stone, waiting on Tricare to get its thumb out of its butt and approve a damn urologist so I can have documentation for Student Disability Services. Grr! The sicker you are, the more you have to do when it comes to healthcare. Bonus points if you're having trouble thinking! .-= Kaitlyn´s last blog ..<a href="http://ohmonkeytrumpets.blogspot.com/2009/11/its-so-nice-when-one-pic-sums-up-your.html" rel="nofollow">It's so nice when one pic sums up your day</a> =-.

I know my board was conducted by Navy and Marine Corps officers. My doctor though, the Rheum, he was Army. My filing doctor was Navy, and all of his superiors Navy or MC. All the other docs were civilians. The turncoat was the Army guy.

My husband was boarded out of the Navy, then reinstated to enter the Army, reinjured, and then med boarded out of the Army. The Navy was by far the screwiest. His diagnosis kept mysteriously changing on his papers. They even got the knee wrong once. I can't imagine dealing with the Navy process without something as obvious as a blown-out knee. Well, it would have been harder for the Army to mess with him - half of his CoC saw him get injured. They were playing "kill-the-guy-with-the-ball" at PT. Gunshot wounds and shrapnel were no problem, but he was boarded from a PT injury. I told him no good would come of his playing football with girls. :) It seems that the Navy has its own special brand of FUBAR on med boards.
