K1 Interview/Medical

[ryanrec 0]

Medical--

Elena went to the medical exam at St Lukes about two weeks ago. No problem on the first day and she was told to return the following day for several immunizations. When she was there on the second day, they were going to give her the immunizations but they changed their mind due to the fact that she had an MMR immunization three weeks earlier. They told her to come back about nine days later to get the immunizations. They returned her passport to her.

I am not a physician but I did do some quick research on the internet regarding any issue with giving immunizations three weeks after an MMR immunization. I could not find any issue anywhere on the internet that someone should not have other immunizations only three weeks after an MMR immunization.

She returned the third time and they gave her a TDAP immunization and a chicken pox immunization. They took her passport and forwarded it to the Embassy. Throughout the entire medical exam (3 visits), they asked her if she was pregnant and when she had her last period at least twenty times. On the third and last visit, the male nurse/attendent/orderly asked her again if it was possible that she could be pregnant. She said no. The guy said, "are your sure"? She then replied that her boyfriend/fiance had a vasectomy already and she can't be pregnant. The guy then said, "Well maybe you are pregnant with some other guy". She then replied, "I am not like that" and left.

Interview--In the early morning hours in Manila she approached a taxi to ask to take her to the Embassy. A pinoy guy ripped her small gold necklace from her neck. She grabbed the guy's arm and said, "give me my necklace back", the guy then pulled very hard and ran away. This caused Elena to fall and now she has two large abrasions on her knees. What kind of piece of ###### low life would rob an 5 foot 2 inch 80 pound girl for a necklace that might be worth $50.??? Even though the area was crowded and many people saw the robbery, no one would help her and chase after this piece of ###### robber.

She decided to go ahead with the interview and the CO only asked her a few questions and then told her that she was approved. She received a pink receipt and paid for the AIR 21 delivery.

You never know what is going to happen in the PI.

Thanks for all the comments of support!

Your right she should have reported the guy. We have lived together for the past three years for about nine months out of the year. So of course I have lived in the Philippines for most of the time the past three years. It seems like I am always fighting with someone or complaining about something. She just usually wants to let it go and not make an issue out of these types of things. Of course the robbery is much more of a serious occurance/problem.

I guess I could call/email the Embassy and report it to them.

Regarding the robbery, I told her that if she could have a professional sketch his face, I would hire a couple of guys to wait around the area in the night/early morning to catch the guy. I told her the guys that I hired would bring the robber to me and when I was finished with him, the result would make the movie "Hostel 2" look like a G-rated Disney flick in comparison. She laughed.

Sadly, justice is evasive in the Philippines though it would have helped if she reported the crime. The robber more than likely frequents the area anyway so he'll get his karma.

You were obviously ready to bring it on like Donkey Kong!
