Medical exam prior to Interview

[Tahoma 2,291]

i believe the results of the medical entirely is what we are now waiting for... possibly that sputum test results.. i wonder why its 2-3 days for results instead of most i read about "they get the results the next day." Possibly because the psych eval was included..maybe? i would think that if they wanted her to undergo further tests they would have told her right then and there, just like they do to the women who has been annulled. But, im not St Luke's or a Doc for that matter.. All I can do is hope its all good and follow up afterwards..

I believe your wife is finished with the psych stuff. I agree with godsgift, I think it's only the beneficiaries who had their marriages annulled based upon their psychological incapacitation who are required to undergo the more rigorous psych test. The doctor at St. Lukes would have told your wife already if she were required to undergo more psych testing.

However, your wife is still not in the clear. When she returns to St. Lukes, that's the time when she will learn whether or not she will be required to return three days in a row to leave sputum samples. If the doctor found any abnormality on her chest x-ray, she will be required to return to St. Lukes three days in a row to leave sputum samples. The sputum samples are used to perform a TB smear test and also a TB culture.

If this happens, then she will learn the results of the smear test after a few days. She will learn the results of the culture in about eight weeks. When her culture results come back negative, then she will return to St. Lukes for her immunizations, and St. Lukes will reschedule her interview.

On the other hand, if her chest x-ray is clean, then she will simply get the vaccinations and will be finished with her medical.

Good luck!!!

Hey tahoma abd godsgift thanks for the input there I agree with you that we may be done with the psych stuff like you said that it would have been told if there was more involved... Now the 3day test thing is one I was going to be concerned of we can just hope that it comes out negative... My opinion it will be negative, but I can't predict that outcome! I will post again when tuesday or wednesday comes around to fill you all in on the results.. If I dwell on it anymore I will go crazy myself haha take care ill respond next week!
