USMC medical discharge

Question

ok in October of 07 i fracture my right risk and didn't know about it for 2 months when i found out, i already healed weird but by that time it was so deep in school i didn't have the time to get it REALLY look at but they did say at A school that i would need surgery with some pins, now i'm a reservist and i went to the docs and they said that ii need like 4-6 pin in my risk to fix it, would they discharge me under medical reasons?

Answer 1

nah, only if u dont have use of it, but i think discharge would be the least of ur worries if tht were the case

Answer 2

If you fractured it on active duty you should be recalled to active duty, sent to the nearest military hospital and have the surgery done to fix it. If the fracture is of the navicular bone (a little "boat shaped" bone in the wrist below your thumb) the surgery is vital. Otherwise you will be in danger of losing blood and nerve supply to your hand. From your describing not knowing you fractured your wrist for two months, that's what it sounds like. If you fractured it by falling and trying to break your fall by holding your hands at right angles to your forearms, then it is probably that bone involved because what I described is the only mechanism of injury that would break that bone.

If it happened before you entered the service it is a fracture which hadn't healed yet and you should have been disqualified from entry.

Well to answer your question I do not think so... They have kept you in this long..... now just learn how to spell wrist..... Good spelling may help you also.
