I passed Medical Exam

[MME 3]

Hello everyone!

few months ago i posted a thread here about my granuloma from my previous x-rays.

here is the link : http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/654553-chest-x-rays/

 

 

I had my medical exam January 10, 2018 and I passed! 

God really works in mysterious ways.

I presented my 3 x-rays but the staff only took the most recent x-ray (2017).

i don't know how i passed but i think it is a case to case basis.

Congratulations! I guess thy didn’t ask for the sputum test? Did bringing the former X-rays help? You said they used the 2017 one - was the comparison the reason they didn’t ask for the sputum?

 

i am asking since my fiancé had tb years and years ago, but did the treatment and is fine now. We actually don’t know if his lungs scarred or not, though he said he got the treatment pretty quickly so maybe not? Anyway, we are very nervous about the sputum test pushing back our approval by two extra months. 

 

Your story gives is courage!

Thank you @SurferCat 

Yes, no sputum test.  I think the previous X-rays helped plus the physical interview.

Before I went to the X-ray room, the staff from the x-ray counter gave me a small form to fill up.  He did not ask if I have previous x-rays with me though he saw me carrying a large x-ray envelope.  I was the one who told him I had my x-rays with me dated 2015, 2016 and 2017.  He checked the 3 x-rays but took the recent one (2017).  I asked him why not take the 3 films. But he answered that the recent x-ray is enough.  Then, I waited for my name to be called and took my x-ray.  

I wanted the staff to take all my x-rays for comparison and I would like SLEC to see I already had the granuloma since 2015.  And in July 2016 before my "open" myomectomy surgery,  I was cleared by the Pulmonologist that i am fit to undergo a major surgery though I had the granuloma.  

During my physical interview,  The lady doctor asked me several questions like if I had previous illness/es on the liver, kidneys, gallbladder etc.  Since she asked me something like that,  I was the one who openned up about my 2016 myomectomy surgery.  She noted it and started to ask questions about my myomectomy.  Then I told her I brought with me records of my surgery.  She read it and started to note down.

 

The truth I did not expect that I could pass my medical exam.  I read and heard stories how SLEC is strict on x ray results. 

I suggest tell your fiance to bring all the necessary certificates, records and previous x-rays to prove she is cured.  Though I cannot say it will give a guarantee to pass the medical exam.  I think it all depends on your "whole" medical exam.

Tell your fiance, DO NOT WAIT for the staff to ask the previous x-rays  or even the medical records  because chances they won't.

Lastly,  PRAYER helps. 

 

Good luck!

Thank you! That is really helpful. Now let’s just hope he can find the old records...
