Kid with stiches

[smussluke033]

Kid wants to delay his DoDMERB as he just got three stiches.. finger and helmet connection during high school football. Does it really matter? Any reason to delay>

Either way, it will need to be addressed, either via the initial questionnaire, or as a ‘change/upgrade of any status since filling out initial questionnaire’, so I don’t see any reason to delay the exam. In fact, I would recommend the opposite…getting it done ASAP, to allow for time to deal with any AMI’s that may come up.

I'm not a DODMERB official...however, using a little "scary common sense..." here...there's a cut...it needed to be sutured...no broken bones, no metal plates, no screws...

I'm thinking this is no big deal...

DODMERB results wouldn’t be impacted negatively by this in my humble opinion. As long as you can fog a mirror and have no underlying issues you will be fine.
