Can being sick (Virus) mess with my Medical Exam? Should I wait?

Hi,

 

I've scheduled our appointment for our Visa Interview for August 22nd. The letter for the consulate says to schedule my medical exam approximately two weeks prior to the interview.

 

The Doctor in Frankfurt who does the medical exam does so on walk in appointments on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 to 11:30. I was going to go there today (Thursday, it's currently 4:20 am) but I just took my temperature after not feeling well the past day or two and I'm running a mild fever. Can this mess with my blood work for the medical exam? Should I wait until I feel better and go on Monday, or would that cut the two week thing too close? The doctor's website says the results typically come in after 2-3 days.

If you are not feeling well you should stay home. Regardless of the medical itself, you can transmite whatever you have to other people and I don't think the doctor is going to like that. Also, if you are feeling down is not a good idea to take blood out. 

 

You might be feeling well for Monday, so stay in bed and take something to get your fever down. Doing the medical in a few days is not going to be a big deal, but you getting more ill is going to be bad.
