my husband did the medical exam at SLEC last year.

he was a moderate smoker but he passed the physical exam without any problems.

as far as i know, the people who undergo the sputum test are those with previous respiratory health issues (tuberculosis or primary TB).

in Filipino layman's term: "merong tama ang baga" o "merong linya sa baga"... as would appear on your chest xray.

>>thank you sis for sharing! did your husband said yes when he was asked if he's smoking? This really bothers me coz i read somewhere that SLEC's giving a hard time to those who revealed that they're smoking :(

Admitting that you are a smoker does not have an effect of whether you have to do the sputum test. The sputum test is based on the x-ray result..
