First day back to work for my wife

[jfrei]

She works for a nonprofit to help people with the bleeding disorder Hemophilia. And she’s says she had a client come in and yell at the founder of the organization stating why can’t her son who has this condition join the Navy or the Air Force. They stared at each other said so you want us to attack the US government because your son can’t join the military. Just curious is there any branch that would take a adult with this condition please no jokes legitimate and his case is mild but still has to take meds?

The issue is they set the standard because of medical issues for whatever reason can’t join because of that condition.  It is like the army you can’t join if you have scoliosis and for good reason.  
 

Bleeding Disorders / Therapeutic Anti-coagulation a. Some bleeding disorders, either acquired or congenital, can be so severe as to be incapacitating and others so mild that manifestations are only apparent following trauma or surgery. As a general rule, the more severe conditions are often of a therapeutic concern, whereas the milder cases are of a diagnostic concern. Many bleeding disorders, however, lie somewhere between these two extremes. b. As with anemias, some bleeding diatheses are secondary or associated with underlying diseases such as chronic liver disease, acute infections or malignancies etc., which may impose employment restrictions of their own. Ch 1995 1
A-MD-154-000/FP-000 ANNEX G c. Whatever the cause for the bleeding diathesis, the member is at risk for serious complications from even minor blunt or penetrating trauma; intracranial, retroperitoneal or intra-abdominal hemorrhage is a real possibility and may not be easily controllable even with prompt emergency treatment. d. There are many activities in the military environment which must be avoided by a member with a bleeding disorder, e.g. hand-to-hand combat, contact sports and even the routine activities of ship life if the seas are high. Other considerations include: ! what level and frequency of medical care follow-up is needed? ! what treatment is required? Coagulation factor concentrates or oral anticoagulants (warfarin)? ! what laboratory testing is needed to monitor the course of the disease or the response to treatment? ! is the bleeding diathesis a temporary, self-limited condition requiring only temporary employment limitations or is it a more chronic and life-long concern?

Good post by Shrek. Just common sense. Not only would the individual be at constant risk of an accident, etc., but what about those in close contact with him. What about possible cross contamination, basic health precautions from getting handling blood spills, etc. Puts others at risk for no acceptable reason. Common sense.

I don't know of any branch in the US that will accept him..unless it is not mention or they don't find in during the entry exam.?

  a lot of guys have went on and passed this exam that had medical problems that they over looked during the entry exam.

Again the mim attacked the founder of the organization saying well why don’t you do something about it. They said she’s a loon but not to her face

i get the frustration as i hate anyone telling me i can't do something.  As I get older I find there are things I should not do as I will pay for it later.

As adults we have to accept that with actions comes consequences. If you really think about it, even though this situation is somewhat sad. This individual would probably have to inform any and all employers about his medical condition. With some blood disorders it may even be required for him to notify his employers of his condition prior to employment for safety reasons. It is just not the military but I would think even for his own mental security that he would want his employers to know about his condition to make sure they would have the necessary medical information on how to address a medical emergency. Not even sure if he could pass an employment physical.  No amount of frustration gives someone the right to attack someone else.  Even a verbal attack can cause someone to become so out of mind that it could lead to an even greater attack.
