Hi vjers, Its me again.. I have another questions..

Many said that on teh day of the medical examination is not allow to eat food for the sake of the blood examination, is it true? I am very curious about it.. Its very long wait to have the medical done complete then its very hard if the stomach is empty..

hope to hear from you guys.....

never heard a such! you're only not allowed to eat when you are having a 3-day sputum test. i did eat before i went on my 1st day and was no problem but maybe others did not.

Ditto, fasting labs are not required. I'm sure that if they wanted you to be fasting, they would have indicated such in the instructions.

no such thing so don't believe them. on the contrary you're advised to bring snacks and water so you don't have to go out while waiting for your number/name to be called

Never heard of such a thing

they are testing your blood for HIV and syphillis.. not something like a glucose tolerance test that requires fasting

Some requires at least 12 hours only before the medical examination, not for ten (10) days.
