Whenurhappy,
Best wishes with your med! I think that UK Mil has a higher calling upon your body and Soul than patient confidentiality, I'm afraid. That said, my experience has been that, you can get a positive slant on your position if you can get the highest possible medic on your side and, you fight for a continuation in the Service. You might even be able to offer a continuation in Service that takes you past an immediate pension point!? Do not be shy, if you can go to the Air Member for Personel with a positive case, you might do far better than just letting a decision be made. Do not bank on it though and, find out all the background so that if you are mistreated, you have the ammo for a redress of complaint.....which might take you past an IPP in extremis!
