Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 4)

CONGRATS RHONDA!!! Good luck with a girl I am praying for boys

It's interesting how the doc is now checking "the goods". I talked to Andre and he said that when he had his medical he didn't even take his pants off. The doc was a male and all he did was check his chest and breathing and ask him the questions and call it a day. He said he would never have gotten the visa if that man doctor was gonna check the goods.

So I have noticed it mentioned a few times before...will your JA guy go to a male doctor or only females? It is interesting because most women want to go to women docs and most JA men want to go to women docs...oh to be a woman doc in JA...must be richer than the men. Andre said only if he was unconscious would a male doc ever touch him. He has been here almost 2 years and has great insurance - I can not convince him to go get a basic checkup...just to check to make sure all is well.

Our family doctor is a male. Andre has been to the ER twice in the last year....once was a woman, once was a man. He had no issues with either.

Oh no.....X ray machine is broken. I'll advise my fiance tomorrow is his appointment. Please advise on his final bill. I think my fiance should be okay with the fees...just want to give him an idea of how much it costs with 3 shots.

yeah, my fiance said it's pretty busy there. he said the bill was a bit more than $11,000J. i hope that's the total bill and not just what the immunizations cost. he said he brought $95US for the exam fee plus another $8,000J for shots.

he met a distant cousin at the exam today. he has a unique last name and there was another man there with the same last name. they chatted for a bit about their common relatives and exchanged numbers. imagine that!

so minfay, will his immunization card be sufficient for the aos?

so now that we know what they do to the men, what do the women have to endure? do they have to get pelvic exams?

It all depends if you are required to do the interview for AOS or not. If not, then, yes, the card is sufficient. It was for us. If you interview, it appears you need the civil surgeon involved.

My fiance has to get two shots today at the medical. Total cost of medical exam...a whopping....$11,000. It's a rip off.

Hey kkhol...

Did you go to the Wine Festival on Saturday? What a GREAT time had by all !! Weather couldn't have been more perfect.

We all had a great weekend !!! Thanks for the company ;o)

I sure did. It was the best time I've ever had at the wine festival. This was my third year attending. WE had a perfect location for our chairs. I could see the stage and the entertainment was perfect. I can't wait for next year.

Wow, I wonder how much it would cost for all the shots? Javon needs them b/c he immunization card was destroyed in Ivan.

Melvin got half of his shots about a month ago and the other half two days ago and it came to about $8000 JA. Its so funny because if you call the medical offices that the embassy states you should go to they tell you to come there and that you shouldn't go anywhere else. Yes, they are supposed to the exam for the interview but they do not necessarily have to give the shots. If you go outside of them just make sure that the DR. signs and dates your card for the immunization records so that you can show the insisted doctors the proof. They just want your damn money.

Its also so surprising because my fiance melvin got sick two days ago (sick now) after getting 3 shots. So, just imagine when you go to the embassy's insisted doctors and they give you all of the shots at one time (if you need it). Is that even safe? They truly don't even know how a person is going to react to the vaccinations. They don't care. All they care about is getting their money. Any comments on this?

Even though it pissed me off at the time <<'cause I was so afraid they would have to give him all the shots>> -- Roy went to MoBay Hope WITHOUT his immunization card. They still only gave him three shots....it only ended up costing us about $130 US total.

I think it all depends on which way the wind is blowing that day.....

I told Javon it's $200 US so as long as it's not over we shoud be fine.

congrats jengles

Embassy called Melvin and rescheduled our interview for the 4th of Sep in lieu of the 6th of Sep. So it looks like I will fly down because its one day after Labor Day! Lets hope the job is up for that

There's no rhyme or reason to it. We didn't use a civil surgeon at all and we DID have an interview. It was never an issue.
