There are four points I want to get across to you.
1. Illness = only PTS
2. Only PTS = Illness
3. Only a PTS condition can make a grade V (or any grade) sick
4. A bad S & D makes a person sick
Get it? Good!!
Now, if a person who has had an S & D gets sick, what do you know? You know that:
(a) They are a PTS
(b) The S & D was not properly done
(c) An item was missed
Note: The missed item may be on a list that was made 2 or 3 years ago.
On the HCO B 5th February 1966 “S & D Warning”, I clearly stated that “It is the action of nearly finding the right one that may make the pc ill”. One has restimulated the charge of the right item, but, has found and okayed the wrong item.
A bad S&D is deadly.
A bad S & D can cause a dangerous physical condition. A bad S & D can land a pc in hospital (I know of two such cases where it did).
So please! Please!! get this, it is so very important. Always, repeat, always look for the missed item on a priorly done list when the pc gets sick.
Know your S & D bulletins, know your listing and nulling bulletin – thoroughly – and you won’t go wrong.
