Medical Experience

[fendergirl 1]

First Day!!

I arrive at St. Luke at 12:30 pm I did not stay in the hotel I went there by jeepney hehe

I asked the guards where will I go and then he asked me if I am for US visa I said YES!! and he asked my appointment letter I showed him my appointment letters and asked him which of the two appointment letter they want, the one from the website or the one from embassy confirmation email. He get both of them anyway lol.

He then went to his desk and grab something and that was the forms that I need to fill up. So I went at the corner where I can able to write and fill up the forms.

PS: Just fill up those box with red check marks and nothing else. In my case I was carried away so I checked those box that has no red checked marks hehe, but anyway I did not have problem about it. The box that I filled up was the box that the Physical Examineer Dr's. worked. Oh well i gave her less work hehe.

After filling up the forms I asked the guard again if whats the next step that I have to do he instructed me to go to reception area at the same floor (ground floor). I hand the forms, Passport, and 1 2x2 picture to the receptionist and she checked it and she gave me 1 form to fill up and told me that I can fill the forms infront of her. While filling up the forms she was asking me some question like: When was your last day of mens?

Was it my first time in SLEC

If I had given a tourist visa before?

Did I worked in Hongkong?

If I have previous X-RAY I said YES. so she asked what year was it taken then I said the YEAR.

After the question I gave her the form that she let me filled and she told me to have a photo scanning in their little office/room. I was wondering why should I take photo scanning since I gave her my 1 2x2 picture, so I think that maybe it will be kept for their computer records/files.

Done with the picture, she then reffered me to the other receptionist just beside her, and this receptionist hand all my forms and passport and instructed me to go to cashier at 5th floor, I took the Elevator. the cashier is just right by the elevator you will see a grab bars there where lines are being held I was luck it was not that busy.

After I paid for the medication examination fee which is $213:00 ( their rate was too high $1=P43) the lady stapled the receipt to my forms and instructed me to hand my papers to the US COUNTER at the same floor ( 5th floor). USA COUNTER is located at the right corner, the left side was the CA,AUS, NZ counter. After I hand my papers to the US COUNTER receptionist she told me to sit down and wait for my name to be called. After about 15 mins. my name was called for eye check up, the nurse that conduct eye check up was very nice we had a litte chit chat hehe. She let me read the letters by the mirror I read it well, she asked me if I used glasses I said NO and its done. She told me to be sitted outside I said SURE hehe and she smile and said SURE too.

Watch out: do not hold the DOOR KNOB or else you will be grounded hehe. It needs repair.

I was sitted for about 20 minutes and I hear my name was called for weight and height check up and it was fast and easy. I sat again and wait for my name to be called, after another 20 minutes I was called for Vital signs it was fast with no REPEAT, just relax so your heartbeat will be normal or else they will tell you to wait another 10 mins to have it done again. The nurse that took my vital signs told me to go to second floor for immunization interview. When I got there, I hand my forms to the guy sitting in the table that collects the form he will be the one to call your name to fall in line when u need to. After 5 minutes I was called to fall in line and after about 10 minutes its my turn for my immunization interview.

The doctor here was so nice she keep on smiling infront of me while asking some questions

like: Any diseases etc?

History of Illnesses

Family illness history

and she will ask you if you have received any vaccines before and she will look for the scars she found 1 in my arms so she

told me that I will receive for vaccines, oh no hehe.

She then told me to go to 4rth floor for blood extraction, the line here us a little long. It will nice if you will talk to other applicants so you will have someone to share the sentiments and the waiting boredom hehehe just like mine I met ate VINA from VJ we talk a lot. And after 30 minutes it was my turn for blood extraction ( oouch)

Advise: If your afraid of the niddle just don't look at them just like me, the next thing I knew it was done hehe though it hurt atleast you did not see how big the niddle they stick unto your veins hehehe.

The nurse here told me to go outside for the urine test and when I get out the receptionist in the bathroom will hand you the small piece of plastic where you will have to put a little bit of your urine for pregnancy testing.

When you already gather some of your urine give it to the receptionist that gave you the plastic she will be the down to hand it to the nurse. Don't forget to wash your hands before you get out hehe. And then sit down and relax and wait for your name to be called. I was called after 30 minutes and my forms were given to me and the receptionist told me to go to 5th floor for Physical Exam. I gave my papers to receptionist at US VISA COUNTER and she looked at my papers and she told me that I have to go to 3rd floor first for my X-RAY. I went to the X-RAY receptionist I hand my papers to her and she asked me the last date of my menstruation and my previous X-RAY. I gave it to her but because my name on my previous X-RAY was mispelled she told me if I will submit the old X-RAY I have to get and affidavit of discrepancy, and she told me its OK if I will not submit it so I did not. So she gave me a little paper to fill up that state they cannot get any of my previous X-RAY FILM. Asside from signing that I also signed 3 forms.

After signing I sat again and wait for my name to be called..

After 30 mins. the waiting is over I was called to sign to their logbook and BINGO my signature does not match good so I have to signed again they have this what they called " MEMO" but its ok it does not make a big deal to me so don't worry. Then after signing I was told to get in their X-RAY room and was told to get undress ( top only) hehe, P.S. don't forget to bring hair lace or hair clip cuz you will need it so u can tie your hair.

After the X-RAY I was instructed to go to the US COUNTER.

And this time in US VISA COUNTER the waiting was very very long, so I asked the receptionist if I can go out and eat she nicely answered YES so i go down and eat in the restaurant just infront of ST.LUKE after eating I went up again I was afraid I will be called and I am not there.

I waited until 6:00 pm and my name was caled for my applicant number and room number I was assigned for ROOM # 5.

The doctor here was really really fast and quick maybe she was hungry, she asked me anything with a NO & NEVER answer hehe. She was reading it too fast maybe she have done it for formality hehe.

She asked my age, what did I finished in school. And after that she told me to get undress as in bare naked hehehe. It took her less than a minute to examine me and that was it, she told me that I will go back the next day at 2:00 pm. She also told me to gie my forms to the US VISA COUNTER. The US visa counter receptionist told me to go to 3rd floor for check out. When I get there the lady get the forms while she gave me my passport and my receipt form. And Im done with my first day!!

I ride a jeepney to get to my aunts house in Q.C. it took me 3 hours in the jeep since there was a rally going on so some roads were blocked. That that lucky day but atleast it was a good one at SLEC

Reminders:

Your MNL case #

Your Fiance address

Your address

Passport Number

3 2x2 picture - with your name at the back

and Remember your first day and last day of menstruation- they will asked this multiple times so better have the same answer.

PEN - You will have to sign a lot of papers and st.luke receptionist will not let u use their pens since they have too many papers too sign as well.

Whiteout - Just incase you have to erase something atleast you can make it neat and clean

Bottled Water - I forgot to bring bottled water and it happens that st.lukes drinking water is not working or not available so I was thristy to death.

crackers - You will be hungry waiting for your name to be called that is for sure.

candy/ chewing gums - to enjoy the waiting moment hehehe

Don't wear high heels or stick heels - It will kill your legs, the walking, the running, the standing is too tiring much of when u wear high heeled shoes. A flat sandal or slippers will do. In my case I wore stick heel the first day and Ive learned from it so the second day I wore flat flip flops.

Don't wear sleeveless - It's cold in st.luke. I did not felt it but I can see the other wearing jacket and putting their legs in the chair.

I ride a taxi to get to J.BOCOBO st where ST.luke is located I paid P 165.00 for it ( above P 200 is a scam) so better watch out.

I was hungry so I had to look for a restaurant and I found " SHAKEYS" hehehe.

I got out at shakeys at 1:00pm so I head directly to ST.LUKE which is just a walking distance from SHAKEYS.

@ SLEC I showed my passport and receipt to the guard and he look at his PC to check for my PDS # and records in his file and after a minute he stam my receipt that state " IMMUNIZATION AT 2ND FLOOR" So I was happy cuz I know I had know problem about my X-RAY. He stamed something on my hands with a SLEC logo.and told me to go to 2nd floor.

I went to 2nd Floor and I hand my receipt and passport to the receptionist and she told me to wait till my name is called for my vaccination it was exactly 1:10pm when I sat down to start waiting for my name.. the waiting is very long here I was upset a little bit with the waiting but anyway I found someone to chit chat and share some sentiments hehe. We had fun talking...

My name was called at exactly 6:00pm for my vaccination. So here it goes 4 shots were given to me I thought it would hurt but it was just a minimal pain which u can tolerate. I was done easy and quick!

The nurse that gave my shots told me wait at ground floor for releasing area. I waited there until 7:30pm until my name was called, The receptionist asked for my receipts and passport and my 2 2x2 pictures with my name at the back of the picture and he told me to wait again for my name to be called. After 15 minutes my name was called for window And ohh I have to redo my signature since it does not match good on my forms hehe my bad, after I signed I was told to wait again at 8:00 pm my name was called for window C for my X-RAY and vaccination results releasing.

The nurse here asked for my
