Medical exam prior to Interview

[jandk 6]

hey, so we went and did the medical exam at st lukes yesterday. SO received 2 shots and 1 blood sample, and was told to come back on Nov. 19th for a personal evaluation, and 4 more shots >.< its going to cost another 1000php ontop of the 214$ we already paid still. Has anyone ever been through this and if so what does it consist of?

Thanks

[Scott and Mhay 57]

Wow that's unusual. Mhay had 2 go back & pay for another pregnancy test 2 be able 2 get her live shots. I forget how much the PT was though. They didn't give her the shots when she went the first time because I was in the PI & she had "contact" with me.

Hey Scott, yeah man it was quite odd, and I think I know where this is going, after talking to her / waking her up at 2am >.> she told me that during the physical exam they asked about an accidental scar on the inside of her fore-arm, asked "when did this happen?" She told the Doc that it was back in 2007 and didnt question anything else in regards to it. Then has her go down to the ground floor and sign some papers and tells her to come back for "4" more shots and a personal eval on nov 19th, so im thinking this is related to making sure she doesnt have suicidal tendencies. Just curious did your wife have to under-go a personal eval as part of her medical exam?

It sounds to me like she may have to take the psych test. From what I have read here on VJ, it's standard operating procedure for St. Lukes to require the psych test for anyone who has "suspicious" scars.

If I remember correctly, the psych test is a written test with a lot of multiple choice, yes/no, or true/false questions. She shouldn't have any problem with it. You can always search for a relevant thread here on VJ.

Good luck!

hey Tahoma,

yeah she said she went to the ground level and had to answer some yes/no questions not sure if this is what you mean by psych test..but this occurred after the physical exam/question about scar..

I think the psych test is a lot longer than a few questions. If my memory serves me correctly, the psych test is a couple hundred questions...and she will definitely know she is taking a written test rather than answering a few oral questions.

wow thats some serious stuff.. is a personal eval the same as a psych eval?

Most likely it's the same.

Keep us posted with what happens.

Thanks Tahoma,

Ok, so here is the scoop.... So she went to the personal eval, and the doctor asked about why she has a scar, and my wife explained and even had to demonstrate how it happened. So the Dr. asked about questions that were answered on her questionaire. The doctor had a casual conversation with my 5 month old son. Afterwards, without having to wait in the waiting area, the Dr. gave my wife the call in number and told her that the medical is done and to call in 2-3 days to see if the results will be ready, then once they are ready she was advised to go down there and get the immunizations. So that is where we are so it looks like next tuesday or wednesday she will need to collect the results and get her immunizations.. Let me just add that there were others waiting as well, that said that they were told they would have to go for a 3rd opinion from a psych, my wife wasnt told that she would need a 3rd opinion.

well then let's pray that the result of her psych evaluation is ok so she will not go for 3rd opinion (psych test), probably the others who was told to get 3rd opinion are annulled women who found spychological incapacitated, usually they are the one who are recommend to get a 3rd opinion...

Hey Godsgift

She thinks it was a positive experience.. do you think in your opinion that if she wasnt informed to go through a 3rd opinion at that time, that its a good think?

hi jandk, well it depends on the result of her psych evaluation... there is someone who has same experienced like ur wife, but she didnt go to a psych test... only the psych eval at slec...

ah i see.. well with my wife, she did the psych eval and wasnt told she had to take a test... all she was told was to come back in that 2-3 days to get her results and to do her immunization.. the dr. was also asking my son if he is going to be with me for xmas

result of what? of the psych eval? if that's the case then she is still not sure if she will gonna do the psych test or not right???? but u know since i got here, i didnt read a case of applicant that has a scar who did a psych. test... but lots of annulled women did the psych eval and test... well lets hope not... good luck...

btw... annulled women who are found psych. incapa. are at once sched. for third opinion.. i think one of the reason is that, when they did the psych test on the annulment their psych doctor are not accredited by slec... aside from they want to make sure the stability of the applicant's mind..

i believe the results of the medical entirely is what we are now waiting for... possibly that sputum test results.. i wonder why its 2-3 days for results instead of most i read about "they get the results the next day." Possibly because the psych eval was included..maybe? i would think that if they wanted her to undergo further tests they would have told her right then and there, just like they do to the women who has been annulled. But, im not St Luke's or a Doc for that matter.. All I can do is hope its all good and follow up afterwards..
