Sec. 31.15  Continuance of medical relief after loss of status.

    If a person is separated while undergoing treatment by the Service, 
his treatment shall be discontinued immediately unless the physician or 
dentist in charge determines that the condition of the patient does not 
permit interruption of treatment, in which case the treatment shall be 
discontinued as soon as practicable and the condition of the patient 
permits. At that time he shall be discharged from treatment and shall 
not thereafter be afforded medical relief by the Service by reason of 
his previous service.
