Interesting MIKE

by my math if you divide that 15 new cases per 100,000. That works out to be a case per 6666.6 people. There is just barely that many people in our entire navy on this coast. Further more, there are two of us on our ship alone (crew 0f 250) that have had this condition in the year. On top of which I...

boys will be boys

Funny, enough the first thing they checked me for to was STDs. I know I have been a good boy, but they insisted. Guess, given the reputation of sailors its probally a logical place to start. Ofcourse I came back clean, and I would like to think in this day and age that my fellow sailors would have t...

Was my first sign as well

Just before I was first diagnosed with Iirits, I had a bout of extreeme exhaustion which I thought was a flu. It passed once the Iritis was under control as well.

The Millitary sent me to see the Opthamologist, they contract. He is also a civilian and he is the person that landed me. However the DR that I saw, is also a Opthamologist but has further training in eye disease and runs the only Uveitis clinic in our region. He is reguarded as the best in our regi...

The Millitary refuses to let me sail, because i had a bout of Iritis nine months ago. I have been free of it since and never had a bout before this...
