Medical Question On Me Hand.
Medical Question On Me Hand.
Hello again eveybody just wanted to ask a question about me hand, I broke it last year not quite sure when but only had to have the pot on for about 3 weeks and it was only a tiny break. Every thing is fine now though and I can do everthing with it
but I was just wondering if this will stop me going for infantry (which is what I'm going for) I really hope it does'nt cheers for reading lads.

I'v had whats termed 'boxers fracture' couple of times in the past and also broke fingers. it wont stop you unless, as mentioned quite correctly in above post, you dont have full and correct function of the hand.
So you will be ok as long as your hands are not knarly shaped claws, or permanently fixed into a GI JOE kung fu type grip

never noticed it before

I wouldn't lie/neglect to divulge conditions on the old medical though as it could come back and bite you right in the ass. which would more than likely lead to you being given the boot.
I think the worst that'll happen is your application could be delayed as the adsc would write to your gp for further information on it, that's if it was a concern for them.

Well, you did kinda tell him not to mention on his medical a fracture which he had treated, PRESUMABLY by the NHS, which will therefore quite possibly feature on his medical records. If it does and he 'forgets' it, it hardly gives a good first impression and may well be sufficient to put a premature end to his application.
Although from what I've heard some fractures are more cause for worry than others, MSI mentioned something about having to keep a training diary for six months to show you're fit. Being your hand and over a year I'd hazard a guess that it won't matter a bit, but obviously I'm not a Doc (his next post might even give you a serious answer, but only if you're very very lucky
).

Thats what the wink smilley was for. It should be on his medical records anyway so the Doctor doing the medical would know.druadan wrote:Well, you did kinda tell him not to mention on his medical a fracture which he had treated, PRESUMABLY by the NHS, which will therefore quite possibly feature on his medical records.
