Medical Exam

[baron555 934]

after doing some research it seems AO "MEDITSINA" is no longer accepted by american embassy in moscow?

IOM is still on there, but are these stories really true about them. i am really worried for my wife ?

You follow what is on the Embassy website. Meditsina lost their accreditation on Oct 1 and it may be until next year when they get it back.

from the website:

Hi Bobb.. hope you don't mind if I hijack your thread..

My girl just had her med exam in Moscow yesterday. I am not sure which clinic she went to, but, she is very upset about the experience. She was required to meet with a psychiatrist for 2 HOURS! They repeatedly asked her if she is using and narcotics (she never has) and made her pee in the cup for drug testing. She was at the clinic a total of 9 hours. They did not give her the results and she will have to go back to get them.

We are both concerned about the reason for and what will be reported by the psyche. It doesn't make alot of sense to me, unless they were trying to pull some BS on her. She said she did have to pay something extra.

Sucks!
