So in the medical history record, do you really need to put every injury? For example, when I was 4 I fell and got stitches on my chin. It healed and I have never had any issues with it. Should I even bother reporting it?
 
First, what is the specific question?

Second, use good judgment. An injury requiring medical intervention (e.g., sutures/stitches, cast, etc.) should probably be listed unless the question itself doesn't call for that information.

A cut that healed quickly and caused no further medical problems is unlikely to create any issues with DODMERB.
 
I apologize, my exact question is do we need to submit info on EVERY injury we have had that required a doctor's visit?
 
And my question is what does the form ask for? :smile: IOW, what is the DODMERB question about which you want advice?
 
I think usna1985's comments went up an over your cranium.

They were politely saying IMPO, you want to be spoon fed. Common sense is their point.

Got stitches at 4, not a whoopy to do, got stitches at 4 because you had a pin placed in your elbow is a whoopy to do. Pins are the issue, not stitches.

Had the flu at 15, no biggie. Had it at 15 and the doc prescribed an inhaler is a biggie.

We are here to support and guide, that is different than walking you through the process.

I have to say you I think you are fearful and second guessing yourself.

Read the directions and believe in yourself. There are times you need to ask how do I respond, i.e. prescribed an inhaler, but never used it. MPO, I don't think medically you are at those grey areas.
