Medical Exam

[MissStacey 1]

I had my Titres test done. It was covered with Alberta health care and I didn't have to pay. If you are still on your Provincial plan, it should be covered for you.

Hmmmm

Wondering if we can find one of the doctor's that'll just watch so we can save some money!!

lmao....i'm sure you could have someone watch....

I do have a dr appt on weds with my regular doc...so I might just ask her if she can get it handled for me....hopefully (fingers crossed) it will be covered by my Sask Healthcare...tks

Hi

I'm 35 and didn't have records of my immunizations. I disussed it with my Doctor about getting titres done and she told me that it would not be harmful to just get the shots again one way or the other, which are free of charge through the government. (titres may come out of your own pocket as I've seen some people here charged for them)

As for the medical required for immigration ... get a receipt and if you have a medical plan through work .. submit it to them ... some insurance companies are re-imbursing for these costs. (Sunlife did it for I think Jersey Girl)

I'm under the age for influenza shot but my son had to get twinrix jr for hep a and b which is a series of three shots (he received his first one, then a month later a second one and then 6 months later the third one which still yet has to occur) which was re-imbursed by my insurance company 80% (he's 8 yrs old).

I hope this info is helpful

I'm 34, and sk stil had them ,lol. Ya if u dont have any imminization records, then one has to get a titre doem to see what shots u have had. More needles, enjoy!!

Goodday I have a couple of questions.

This blood test, is it a fasting one where you dont eat for 12 hours etc..

and second question I see some information on here to bring Passort Pictures

to the doctor ( 3 of them?) is that true.

Thanks

Those questions depend onthe DR i would think. Some Dr's only require 1 pasport, pics, some more. So to answer ur question better, one would need to know which Dr u are going to see.

....or better yet ... ask your doctor. Don't take our word on what your doctor will want to have done.

I had my influenza shot at work in the fall. Do I need a letter from working stating I've had it?

Just wondering if it's a big thing at the medical.

The blood test is not a fasting one. It's for HIV and syphilis rather then nutrient counts like iron. They will suck one vial for each test.

Since you are in Calgary, the doctor (who is at the Hummingbird clinic on Sirocco Drive) requires 3 passport style pictures. So, yes, it's true.

so....

my doctor gave me a 'script for the tetanus shot....but I could not get it filled here in Nowhere, SK...lol. I phoned public health and they are giving me all of the shots I need for my age group. It won't cost a thing and I will then have a record of it for the Doctor. Wow, I could not believe how they were willing to help me right away.

check with your local public health to see if you can get the shots and they you will have a record for the doctor and anyone else that requires it.

my panel dr appt is on the 12th april....

I take it back: it's a lie. Calgary doctor requires 2 pix. VAN doctor wants 3. I always forget this part!

Excellent!

BTW: is Nowhere, SK anywhere near East Elbow Junction, SK? One of my grade school teacher's used to kid us about being from there.

lmao....there is an Elbow, Eyebrow, Climax....just to name a few fun places in Sask. I really don't know if there is a Nowhere on the map...but from where I sit I can see the middle of Nowhere really well.

Haha.

I have only been to Saskatchewan once. I drove to Moosejaw and stayed at Temple Gardens. I really enjoyed it. It was a nice town, the Tunnels were cool and I enjoyed some spa services at the hotel.

OK...had my shots done today...but the MMR cost me $23 and the tetanus was free. There were no questions asked...no proof of anything required and they gave me a record of my immunization.

So...... lets hope that is a good sign of things to come!!!

Have a good one!
