The peep into the safety net of LDX lab begins with none other than the trained and competent medical personnel who grace(d) the laboratory. They were the life savior to the SAF fighting fit uniformed forces then, and now, to the researchers combating viruses in loose oversize lab coats. We take a look at what 3 medics from the past, present and future have to share about their experiences.
Then 25: "The SMM followed a stringent and regimental regulations in ensuring that rules are obeyed and disciplines are instilled! I took pride in revealing the achievement I received during my days in the army. Now, I cannot really say the same thing but things have changed and my status and appetites are different now."However, every lesson learnt is applicable in one way or the other, like cell resuscitation. Clear the unwanted waste from flask, pump it 2 Xs with PBS and give 5 Xs compressions to the flask with the palm. Resuscitate the cells with fresh media and observe under miscroscope. 1 life saved! "
Now 25?: "I've thoroughly enjoyed my days serving as a medic. The ever friendly and bright instructors throughly deliver their knowledges to me in ensuring that I'm ready to face the unknown when I graduated from the acedmy. Unfortuantely, I've hardly put to practice what I've learned. Therefore, I've to start from scratch and this is where the outfield exercises drilled me well. Now, I'm ever ready for the challenges ahead from the phony lessons."
25 to be: "Being a instructor who is based in camp and yet able to impart my medical knowledge to the trainees is my passion. Its an accomplishment when I witnessed them passed out as medics thinking they are ready for the world with just the mock scenario and some theories on some scrap papers. Life as an insructor is easy, simply follow the medic's pledge - Seat, Say, Surf. Now that I've served my NS, I've found another place where the medical pledge is put to good use. It clearly help if you're the nephew of someone as well."

To the readers,
On the behalf of LDXlab and all my colleagues, I must reiterate and STRESS that this is a non-commercial, non-political blog. We are not coerced nor bribed into promoting SAF, much less the medic unit. Any hints of the above is deeply regretted. But we can't avoid ex-lab members from accepting bribes or threats into doing so. Readers are warned to be discerning about identities of the authors to check on the reliability of the published blogs.
