Medical Appointment

[Aryadne e Kevin 0]

Hi, VJs!

I ´m writting you to share how was my medical interview today, in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

After taking all of the vaccines and exams requested i latest august, today I met Dr. Joaquim Duarte. Just as a remind, here is the docs I had to show him:

• HIV negative
• Sifilis negative
• XRay of chest
• Complete ginecology report
• Vaccines

So, I got Dr. Joaquim Duarte´s number on the embassy webpage, and set up an app with him for today morning. He asked me if I want to go through all of the medical exams with him or if I would take them all set just for final validation. I said it would be worth to me, if I could use my own health insurance to go through them, since would be costless, and just meeting him to get the embassy final report. He said O.K.

So, I did all of the exams and took to him this am. He look through carefully, asked me if I had any health problem before, any sexual disease, any surgery, if I smoke, drink.. Then, he proceeded with the medical phisical analisys, which was basically checking my heart conditions, breath, blood pressure, throaht... and nothing else.

I payied total of R$ 270,00 (R$ 220 for him and R$ 50, 00 for one extra vaccine).

So, if anyone needs a reference regarding this medical appointment, I ´d suggest to meet Dr. Joaquim Duarte. His office is in the corner of US Embassy in Downtown, Rio de Jsaneiro.

Any other questions, please, contact me. and good luck to all of us!
