I'm not quite sure if it's in the right topic.. feel free to move it.
Ok here's the deal. I enrolled in the RegF 8 months ago and injured myself before BMQ (wrist injury. Unable ot perform 1 single push-up since then). So they put my file on hold until it heals and until I'm ready again. Not really a big deal since I'm back to school and finishing college until then.
Anyway, I'm having a hard time seeing good specialists and get the proper tests (MRI, etc) because of the REALLY bad public healthcare system. Maybe it's not that bad in other provinces, but I am in Quebec. Most tests I am trying to pass have a 6 months + wait time. Seriously what's up with this? Most sports injury have time to heal completely or get worse by this time. ..........Mine is getting worse everyday. Enough whinning. I'm worried about my wrist condition because I'm only 21 and don't want to be declared unfit for the army. A military career is something I've been focussing on for a while and I trained hard for it (maybe a little bit too hard). It would totally blows if this injury screws my career plans.
I'm wondering if I can ask the army for medical interventions, considering I have been sworn in but haven't completed BMQ yet. I think I'll need surgery for this one... duh. If the answer is yes, does military people get priority over civies?
Here's an advice for recruits- don't go crazy on the push-ups before basic training.
