Worried about MEDICAL!

[~happyndinlove~ 540]

if slec finds a scar in your xray, they will let you do a 3 day sputum test and then will let you wait 2 months for the culture test results. after 2 months, if the culture results are negative, then you can have the immunizations and then they will give you a new interview date. even if you bring your own doctor's medical report, slec will not honor it. just go with the flow, do whatever they need you to do, im sure youll have a negative result so dont worry.

hi sasha, thanks for reply...i never had sputum and culture tests before so im wondering what the procedures are...pneumonia and Tb are different but seems that you will still undergo for a sputum test regardless....

i really hope everything will work out fine....pls pray for me...

lol...am I detecting a little red river rivalry? or r u just pissing excellent stupidity too? got a litle bit of that typical "redneck living in a concrete jungle" jealous of the peaceful, no pollution, no stuck in traffic (you enjoy those rush hour crawls?), no over crowding(dont have to wait an hour and a half to get a table), low cost of living/high quality lifelstyle(we actually have a yard and garden and still have room for a swimming pool), 4 seasons (we get snow), not always hot as a hair dryer (1-2 months of 95+temp..ur already sweating in april right?)....I could go on and on..but u know that..lol..

Spoken like a true Yankee.

So many Okies come to Dallas to work and make money, Not much money up there

Once you cross the Red River and head north it the flattest and ugliest part of the USA I have ever seen.

I see a bunch of redneck Okies hanging out and drinking some Pearl Beer, during the day which leads to some Farm Animal Sex later on that night.

No thanks you can have Okie and its backward ways of living............

Hi All,

Just a brief question...

I went to the doctor 2 weeks ago and had my chest examined.

According to the Doctor, I've got pneumonia based on my X-RAY result (BASAL INTERSTITIAL PNEUMONITIS).

Would it affect my medical? I'm really worried though the doctor said no problem.

I'll be having my medical 2nd or 3rd week of June and I'm worried to death that it might be a big deal.

Pneumonia is not a contagious illness and doctor said it'll be cured 2 weeks after medication

and my lungs would be cleared a month after.

I still be worried until I'm done and know I pass my medical....

Any input would be appreciated!

Thank you in advance...

just bring a medical certificate with you when you have a medical.once they dont see any scar on your xray, i think your fine

hello... Just pray na things will be ok by the time na magpapamedical ka na. You can bring your xray result from a different doctor,syempre dapat yung ok. They would ask you questions like, have you ever had a TB or do you live with anyone with TB? Then, if you don't say, No, honestly. Drink milk before you have your exam as well, who knows it might help. Good luck.

hi pinayamerican, thanks...i'll going to have a new x-ray either today or tomorrow and see kung merong pagbabago sa result since i took meds ng isang linggo...doctor prescribed me 4 different kinds of antibiotic and really hope na maging ok result ko next time...I had medical exam multiple times b4 when I was still employed and I never I had any problem with it....never had TB nor a spot...anyway, Im just curious, effective ba talaga ang pag-inom ng milk before x-ray?

....sabi nila effective daw, ako kasi i was exposed sa mga tao with TB so i got worried that it might mess up with my med exam, so what i did is kahit hindi talaga ako maki-gatas hahaha, kelangan eh so i drunk milk 2 weeks before my med exam and drunk 2 cans of milk that morning before i went to st.lukes, everything went well, but you can try, malay mo...

Try mo lang sis wala naman masama di ba?

goodluck!

hi john&louella, thank you sa message...i'm not sure if i've been exposed sa mga my TB...just i know i never had one...pero kahit na mas maganda na talaga yong nakakasiguro di ba...so i might follow your advice whether its effective or not...wont hurt my system if i'll try anyway...basta inom lang ng gatas everyday?
