Hello everyone, ShaSha had her first day of the medical today so I wanted to update everyone on the time spent. After reading all the info on VJ I told her to go in the afternoon. She arrived at 1:30PM and was out by 5:30PM. She did tell me that she had seen and talked to a few people who arrived at 7:00AM and they were still there until 3 or 4PM, so looks like its not good to show up early because you will have to wait all day. She did pass everything and is going back for day 2 on Thursday because she has class on Wednesday.

Honey, just got your card, thanks I love you...

1St DAy

Yes, i arrived at 1:30PM, guards were very nice, i even left some of my stuffs(notebook from class ) on the guard's shelf,. I showed them my passport and NVC appointment letter(you have to photocopy it, cuz they will take the copy and give you back the original with a stamp),. the guards gave me Patient Data Sheet(PDS) form to fill up and said " maam after mo yan i fill up paki bigay nalng sa mga magagandang chicks katulad mo sa may Reception Area" hahaha,. when i gave it to them, they asked me questions and then one nice girl took me inside a room where she took digital picture..

They instructed me to go to 5th floor to pay at the cashier, I didn't notice the elevator so i used the stairs, and when i reached at 3rd floor i paused and take a deep breath and then continue to climb upstairs, when i reached 5th floor, i just noticed the elevator,. I paid 7,671.30 pesos they gave me the receipt,..

They told me to go to the 3rd floor at the X-ray department, the girl there wasn't very nice,.

Then I went to 4th floor at the Laboratory Department, i waited for more than 30 minutes, and they gave me a urine/blood specimen bottles,. the Needle that they used to extract blood is kind of Big, i think it's 18 gauge needle, I'm not sure though, but it's ok, just relax and follow what they say to you,. restrooms have tissues, but bring your own tissue just in case...

Then I went to 5th floor, that's the place where they take your vital signs and height and weight and eye test,. nurses there are nice... You need to use your sense of hearing, cuz people are so noisy and sometimes when your name is called you can't hear it.. US Counter called my name and gave me my papers and passport and asked me to wait in front of Room number 6, they will give you a number (mine is 20) i just waited there for 20 minutes and the doctor called my name, it's my turn for Physical exam... she asked me few questions( girls you need to recall the your LMP last menstrual period cuz it's the most common question they ask)..

the doctor usually entertain two patients at a time, so there were two of us in the room, while she was interviewing me, she asked the other girl behind the curtain to disrobe completely.. it's ok you can still maintain your privacy cuz only the doctor could see you and not the other patient,. but sometimes, when you're behind the curtain, you can hear the doctor interviewing another patient,..(don't listen to them, just mind your own bussiness ). doctor asked me about my birthmark on my right arm,. and she carefully inspect wrists,.. so that's all...

I went to 2nd floor for immunization interview,. they ask you if you have had immunizations.,.BCG scar etc... and they ask you if you had chicken pox before and locate the scars,.. they also asked me about any allergies,. i told them i have allergies with chicken and eggs,.

Then they told me that i need MMR and HP(it's actually anti cervical cancer) .. so that's it..

I went to check-out counter and they gave me my receipt and passport,. they told me to go back the following day at 2PM, i asked them if it's ok to go back a day after next cuz i have a class, the girl asked me when will be my interview date, i said April 29, she said ok,.

So 5:30 PM i was outside St. Lukes...

2ND Day

I arrived there at 2pm, showed the guard my passport and receipt, then he checked my name on the computer( master list) and there i saw my picture which was taken on my 1st day Medical exam,

I went to the 2nd floor for immunization, i gave my receipt to the gentlemen on the table,.

I waited there for more than an hour, still nothing happened, i was kind of mad and getting impatient, i called the guy in pink who took my receipt, and asked him how much longer will i wait there,. he said, he already gave my receipt to the nurses there and maybe I'm next...

still nothing happened,. i was very mad and saw the guy in pink again, he was eating French fries,. i asked him to follow up my papers, he was like "relax ma'am, if you'll kiss me i will go check your papers now" i know he was kidding but i was very mad at him.... and asked him to do what i want him to do, so he stopped eating and go downstairs and got my X-ray result and other papers, and he gave it to the nurses at the immunization room,... 2 minutes after my name was called, and they interviewed me again about my allergies, the nurse took me to the doctor and the doctor interviewed me again,. she's not very nice,..i just told them what happened to me when i ate chicken and eggs,. so they told me that since i have an allergic reaction with eggs they can't give me the MMR vaccine,. so they just gave me one shot it's the HP or anti cervical cancer..

at last I'm done and went downstairs to get the X-ray result and my receipt, they got my passport,....

Tips for those who have small kids,.

bring some finger foods

bring some toys for them to play, while waiting,.

bring jacket if your kids have cold intolerance..

bring some tissue or handkerchief to wipe your kid's tears when they cry..

God bless us all....

Big thanks to you Chris! I went there around 3:00 pm on first day and I was done around 5:30 pm. On 2nd day I got there at exactly 2:00 pm and finished at 4:45 pm if the girls inside the immunization room wasnt busy talking with each other maybe I would be done 30 minutes earlier.

So girls, if you hate to wait we would suggest to go in the afternoon.
