To Receive

In civilian life, an individual has the right to refuse medical treatment in almost any circumstance. While a patient who refuses treatment may face adverse consequences such as prolonged illness, our society recognizes the importance of individual choice in health matters. Members of the military, however, enjoy no such right. Service members are required to submit to certain medical treatments as a part of their employment contract. Refusing such treatments is disobeying an order, and the service member then faces the prospect of a dishonorable or “other than honorable” discharge, and even imprisonment. Disobeying an order to receive treatment can thus result in the equivalent of a felony conviction on the individual's employment history forever.

ABSTRACT Myocardial bridging is an uncommon cause of a quite common emergency department complaint for chest pain and is often associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. We present a case of an otherwise healthy middle-aged U.S. military service member who presented with acute coronary syndrome which was ultimately determined to be the result of myocardial bridging.

ABSTRACT Insulinoma, the prototype of endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, is a very rare condition, with an incidence of four cases per million person-years. Its rate of occurrence in the U.S. military population is unknown. Two cases of insulinomas involving active duty service members have been published. However, there has been no reported case of an insulinoma in a deployed service member. We report the case of a 21-year-old infantryman with clinical hypoglycemia of insidious onset, manifesting with overt neuroglycopenic symptoms during his deployment as a combatant soldier, and the ultimate diagnosis of an insulinoma as the underlying cause. The series of multiple clinical evaluations and the unique circumstances leading to the formal evaluation of the patient’s hypoglycemia and treatment are chronicled. The significance of neuroglycopenia and the diagnostic approach to any suspected case of hypoglycemia, the potential challenges and opportunities, and educational aspects of evaluation and management of the insulinoma are elaborated. The potential role of the Military Health System in facilitating the detection and treatment of this rare condition in the service member is discussed as well.

Military families face unique challenges during the various stages of the deployment cycle. The impacts of these challenges are felt by all members of the family and the children in particular. The social-emotional strains that children experience during a military parent deployment can negatively impact their emotional state as well as their school performance. The reintegration of the service member back into the family is typically stressful but more so when the service member has posttraumatic stress disorder or some other injury. Children respond to deployment stressors differently depending on their age. These responses are discussed along with strategies which are designed to help support the child and the family throughout the deployment. Strategies for the school setting as well as in the home are shared.
