first day of medical experience

[loving_gabriela 0]

Finally I am done with my medical...almost. coz i still have to go back on friday March 6 for the vaccination and the results. I arrived at St.Luke's 4:30am and i was number 62 in the line outside the hospital. I finished around quarter to four in the afternoon. The immunization interview part was the longest part of waiting for your turn. Gosh!That was the last thing to do and you are done on your first day of medical exam.I should have finished after lunch only if the papers are not piled up and only if there were enough doctors to handle the interview for immunization. Ay yay yay! Lucky that everyone I met were nice, Thank God there was no mean employees that I have encountered.Doctors were nice and very accomodating. Prayers answered on that note. The part that was painful for me is the blood extraction, my right arm is sored and got bruised. I am afraid of big needles.

What i learned from that medical experience is that you really should just go there alone, no chaperon or something. My pops keeps on insisting to accompany me for my medical but i told him il be fine. Chaperons are not allowed except for elders,disabled or for the kids.Space is limited, and if you have chaperons they will wait outside the building. 2. FOOD is not allowed inside.Bags will be checked before entering if come there around 8. I got my sandwiches with me on my bag but im telling you, i was not able to eat it at all because you will be listening attentively for your name to be called and at the same time chatting with the people around you at least to kill boredom. 3.Bring water, jacket with you coz it's kinda cold inside although i forgot to bring one but because there are lot of people,i didnt feel the aircon that much.

Physical Exam is not that bad. If there is one thing that scares me bfore the medical exam it's the P.E. Who wants to get undress?body seen by someone you dont know hehehe. Good thing is female doctor will be given to all female patients. Nothing to fret! You will be asked to wear robe anyway.

For those who have questions regarding my medical exam experience, feel free to send me message. I haven't written everything here,i'm really tired.I thought writing a little of it would give you an idea of what the medical exam will be in st.luke's/

I will be back on friday for the vaccination.March 6. I am hoping and praying for good results of the exam. I hope and pray i pass.

GOod luck to you guys!

Thank you to all VJ people who were very nice in helping me out with this medical thing.THank you for all the informations and the tips.Thanks to LUDY for her big help,salamat ng madami sis!GOd bless you!

good for you! there are so many US visa applicants in Manila, and waiting for 10 freaking hours is just an average i guess...I am hoping that when i come back on friday it will be faster ) hoping against hope hehehe.

hi ana!i have to go back on friday for my vaccination,since sa 19 pa naman ang interview ko so no need to rush daw. I prefer to have it the following day too if ako masusunod. At least i wont fret about waiting til friday to know the results you know....When is your interview ana? I will be back on friday at st.lukes at 9am. how was your experience sa medical?what time did you arrive at the hospital? grabe tagal ko dun nung monday...imagine i was there at 5am and finished around 4 i think...Ang nagpatagal is yun pag hintay sa immunization interview, ang dami kase as in....pero if not for that i should have finished earlier like past 12 noon.... San ka nga pala pupunta?My fiance is from New Jersey.Hit me back ana....good luck to your interview!God bless!

You girls are lucky as there used to be a female doctor that "liked" doing digital I.E. exams. After many complaints she was fired.
