Medical at St Lukes

[Commish10 427]

My fiancee and her 5yo daughter went to St Luke's to do the medical taking advantage of MECQ since they are closed during ECQ which could be reinstated at anytime. Anyway, her daughter had a slight cough (she always has some kind of cough) and they would not let her do the medical, yet they collected the money. Fyi, if you have any cough, sniffle, throat clearing, etc, the will not provide a medical exam.

They told her to come back in 2 weeks and she still has a cough, a negative Covid test will be required to proceed.

Without a question St Lukes was the most difficult part of our journey.   Three sputum test, lost paperwork etc. Wish you the very best, just keep plugging away and you will be ok.

Goodness man, 

You cant catch a break! With the lockdowns and interview cancellations. 

When all this is done, you deserve a good drink.

If you get to Alabama, look me up. Drinks are on me.

Hopefully she got a receipt. 
 

This is the typical nonsense I dealt with during the 3 months I was back there earlier this year. A population that is literally scared out of their minds. Even I was afraid to cough outside thinking the Covid police would drag me off to some quarantine facility on a basketball court telling me to stay put for 14 days. 
 

SLEC should have the saliva antigen test on site. It’s what all of the donated money from the US and other countries was supposed to be used for. That and vaccines.  However turns out all of the money disappeared and the country had to rely on donations. 
 

Be careful though on the cough. If she coughs all the time, your biggest concern isn’t Covid, but having the doctors think she has TB.

She had a chest Xray just before she went. Just a mild Upper Respiratory Infection being treated with antibiotics
