The original "Rhino-Rocket" was pretty much a just a tampon...the newer variants are hemostatic gauze or soakablw foam over a balloon that goes is and applies internal pressure...step up from the "rubber chickens" and using a Foley...though I still keep the Foley in the tool kit if we don't have...

You'd be surprised how many men freak out when you tell them about the tampons in their nose :rolleyes:

Consider them first aid supplies for nose bleeds...used to be in my trainer's kit for that reason until purposely designed nasal tampons became available...which in their original iteration, were just expensive menstrual ones with a fancy nasal sounding name too them.

They'll want to know when you started, stopped and rationale for both, as well as what the likelihood of needing it again and if a condition was associated , likelihood of recurrence.

It may or may not - they MAY want a good explanation from your doc as to why you were on TRT or GH or whatever you were being given AND lab results showing that you don't (a) actually need the stuff - ie dysfunctional hormonal axes and (b) that your body wasn't harmed by it (liver issues, etc)...

Given recent changes and such, I've given up hope of figuring out what your crystal ball shows other than do your medical and await what the Recruit Medical Office says...oh and do what you need to do to stay healthy, regardless of the outcome.

I remember the day after a particularly nasty mine strike we had in Croatia and this nonsense coming on TV...was a little surreal given that.

T'is but a relative term...
