The older generation, who served in Soviet times, sincerely believes that it is the army that brings up a real man from a weak youth. However, judging by the information received from the media, the modern army is increasingly becoming the cause of a teenager's disability (or even death!). Therefore, today's youth seeks to find any loophole in order to avoid getting into the ranks of draftees, and the first thing that comes to mind is to "slope", thanks to the medical board.
The medical board at the military enlistment office is one of the main stages of the short journey from the doors of the recruiting station to taking the oath. Having received the summons in hand, the conscript is obliged to immediately appear where indicated. The medical board, consisting of seven doctors (at least), must render its verdict on whether or not the young man is fit for service. Therefore, you should carefully prepare for the visit to the military registration and enlistment office, collect all available certificates, medical reports and confirm the existing diseases with official documents. Otherwise, with today's total shortage of troops in the Russian army, the medical board will recognize you as fit even in the absence of any limb.
The medical board at the military registration and enlistment office obliges you to visit the following doctors: therapist, surgeon, psychiatrist, neuropathologist, otolaryngologist, optometrist, dentist (and a doctor of another specialization, if necessary). Each specialist will ask standard questions, listen to complaints, and make appropriate notes on the medical examination sheet. It is important to pay attention to whether all your complaints are recorded by the doctor. No matter how insignificant they may seem, the law obliges the medical worker to write down everything, including frank nonsense and nonsense.
After the conscript will undergo a medical examination, the military registration and enlistment office, or rather, the chief physician, assigns him a fitness category (based on all the information provided and the conclusions of medical specialists). There are five such “final” categories:
A - means that you are fit for military service and are subject to draft in the army;
B - subject to draft and suitable for military service with minor restrictions;
B - a category exempting from conscription due to limited fitness for military service;
G - assigned if the conscript is temporarily unfit for military service (with a delay of six months);
D - absolutely not fit for military service (complete release from any military duty).
The medical board at the military commissariat recognizes young people as unfit, temporarily unfit, and partially fit for military service in the presence of diseases such as bronchial asthma, tuberculosis, epilepsy, hypertension, blood diseases, stomach ulcers, chronic kidney diseases, cancer, fractures, congenital malformations , decreased visual acuity (and other eye diseases), deafness, mental disorders, HIV infection.
The medical board at the military registration and enlistment office, as a rule, is not interested in detecting new diseases. And it may be wrong in determining the exact category of suitability of a draftee. For example, serious illnesses such as a stomach ulcer or concussion cannot be detected on the primary commission. Therefore, the conscript must apply for a medical examination in a medical institution. The doctor does not have the right to refuse to issue a referral, but if he still does not consider the request justified, you can complain to the chairman of the draft board. And if he remains deaf, then your right is to order an independent and impartial military medical examination, however, this examination will already be paid.
Now you know how to make the military commissariat, medical board and other components of the life of a future warrior not a problem!
