Today we went for a second remedial for a hip injury DS had in 7th grade. It required X-rays, which had to be done only by the Dodmerb's chosen doctor (no private option). We arrived at our assigned rural location some 3 hours later to a vacant office ( did I mention we are only 45 minutes from LA?). We find out after calling the office they had moved - 4 years ago!
We got to office number two and noone there had ever heard of Dodmerb or NROTC physicals. We assume that we come upon a new employee and there has to be an error. Soo, the lady at the front desk calls her boss, her bosses boss and so on and finally we reach an employee that has heard of Dodmerb. However, we walked away without our required X-RAY because they claim they had to have a physicians signature. These orders were written by Dodmerb, not a physician. By this time, all the Dodmerb and contractors offices that can help us with this are closed. Has anyone ever had to have an XRAY for a remedial who can fill me in on the procedure?? Nothing was mentioned on our orders except to take our printout from the portal and bring a picture ID - which we did.
We invested 8 hours of our time - no x rays and no closer to being medically qualified. All this for a kid who runs CIF sectional level sprints and captains his tier one level club and HS soccer teams. It was a very frustrating day indeed.
