Medical Exam @ St. Luke's

[php2 0]

Hi fellow Filipino/s,

We are just waiting for the appointment letter needed for the medical exam. I am just curious about

the types of procedure done in the medical. Can you please cite them in detail? Plss.....

Did you undergo?

urinalysis?

fecalysis? (did you bring stool?)

breast exam?

blood extraction?

chest x-ray?

height, weight measurement?

Hepa A/B vaccination?

Flu vaccination?

If you were given vaccinations, how much per vaccine?

All I know is I have to pay $213.35 (peso equivalent) and $7 repeat x-ray (in Php). Am I right?

Thank you so much in advance!!
