________Fin_____
* You can't schedule an appointment until the same month of the interview and you get cited usually the week before the interview. (in October 2020 My fiance said the doctor is very "relajado" and will not let you schedule an exam until about 2 weeks before the interview. My fiance called him at 1pm and the doctor told him to call back at 6pm when he had more time to talk.)
*This Dr. seems a bit unorganized so be sure to ask for everything you might be have doubts about.
* You are cited for a day, and you need to show up at 12/12.30 just as everybody else who needs to get the medical that day.

* You must request a copy of the results of the medical examination the day of the interview when asked by the sealed envelope
* Process goes like this: go to the doctor and get the orders for the tests and drop off the forms and pictures. Get blood work done, get X-Rays done (both in the same building near metro Baquedano and a few blocks away from the doctor's office), get vaccines done (if necessary. The diphteria/tetanus can be done for free at clinica indisa if you had chicken pox already. The secretary will tell you this.), then go back to the Doctor and drop off the results.
