Just a couple quick questions for those who have gone through the two days medical in Manila. Basically, how long did each days of testing take? First and second day..? Also are you allow to bring electronic into SLEC like digicams and cellphone and can you bring bulky items like a bagpacks with your cloths in the even that you checked out of your hotel room?

yes u can bring everything you want to bring but dont leave it behind...you need to bring it with you,wherever you go inside the building (hospital).

on my medical,i bring all my things coz i was just came from Cebu at that time (4am flight) and i went right there from the airport i reached there abt 6:30 am coz the taxi driver take me to the other side of Robinson so i take a walk.at 10:30am i am done with my medical but then still need to go back on the next day for the result...

so no worries...

What abt the next day's testing, how long did that 2nd day take? I always thought you went back for more testing and not just to receive your results.. What abt the hotel you stayed that night? How much money did it cost you per night? Thank you for your replies...

immunization is given on the next day. it wont take long...VJ's adviced everyone not to go there Monday to avoid crowd.its much better if you go there after lunch.medical is really fast...the staffs work fast...on my case,i was waited 1 hour at the lobby b4 my name called to pay to the cashier,maybe the cashier came late to work,LOL!

i had no immunization coz i already had it last 2006 (its my 2nd time at St. Lukes).

theres a lot of hotels near the hospital...if you sleep only one night,it wont cost you P1000 if you look around and see w/c is cheaper.

I think the 2nd day depends if you need immunization.. If you don't need immunization, basically the 2nd day for you is just clearing and picking up the result..

Just a reminder, the second day of medical is not always fast. Meryll spent 5 hours at SLEC along with several other VJers last week. Hopefully,the second day will return to closer to two hours.

Blood test is not a fasting exam so it is ok to eat and you can also eat inside while waiting for your name to be called. Some bring their own foods inside. Some went out to eat but the problem is when your name is called and you're out, your papers will go way back on the their list/line.

They will usually tell you what time you have to go back on the 2nd day for the immunization/vaccine shots and to give you the Chest x-ray plates and immunization records. I was asked to come back at 1pm. The 2nd day is no longer on a first-come first-served basis but will depend whether your medical exam results and records on the first day has been completed.

Never go on Mondays as they are always busy and crowded and it is okay to go there after lunch time. Thursdays usually have a shorter line of applicants.

Good Luck to everyone!
