I was filling out the medical history online for DoDMERB and I came across two questions. The first asked if I have ever broken any bones and the second asked if I had ever had pins or plates in bones. In my sophomore year I broke my left middle finger wrestling and I had to have surgery to set it and I had pins in it for a few months. Now I have no hardware in my finger and it is 100% healed.
That being said, I wanted to mark 'yes' for both of those questions on the medical history. However, my dad is saying that I should mark 'no' so I won't have any chance of dealing with waivers or anything. I trust his opinion as he is a Navy Dentist but, at the same time, I just don't feel comfortable lying on this form. West Point (or any SA for that matter) is going to require my medical history eventually so won't they find out that I lied if I mark 'no' on that medical history form? What should I do?
