St Luke's Medical Question

[mcdsnight 5]

I was just wondering, for those who were finished with their medical, what's the best time and day to go? Like super early? or what? Thank you so much for your feedbacks...

my wife did her medical about 2 weeks and she was there by 6 am and she told me there were already people waiting in line to get in. there wasn't a lot of people, but she said that there was a bunch of them already at that time. of course, she thinks that going on a wednesday may have helped. she's thinking that most people probably had went monday. so when i talked to her after their medical, i asked her if her theory worked since they were practically there the whole day. actually, they were there the whole day

My fiance just had his Medical last monday. I told him to go like around 7am. But when he got there, there's already a lot of people waiting in line. You probably want to come earlier.

GoodLuck =)

PS: dont forget to bring a snack.

Get up early? Go fall in line?

Why punish yourself like that? Here is a much better idea:

Sleep in until 8:00 am. Have a cup of 3-in-1 and enjoy a leisurely breakfast until 9:30 am. Arrive at St. Lukes around 10:00 am or so. Walk right in because there is no line. Complete your medical at the same time as all of those crazy people who got up early and fell in line outside of St. Lukes.

My wife went there about noon and was done before 5. She waited longest for the physical portion of the medical.

It is best 2 go about lunchtime tuesday-thursday. No need 2 go early in the morning.

I agree. That strategy has worked for me all the time here in Pinas (St. Luke's, DFA, NBI, NSO). I've noticed Pinoys tend to line up really really early. So I do the opposite. I only arrive early in the morning if I actually have an appointment.

I arrived at St. Lukes (first day) at 12:03 p.m. and I was out at 1:13 p.m. I figured, if I have to wait in line for hours and hours, I'd much rather do it on a full stomach. I'm one of those people who cannot eat a LARGE meal before 8 a.m. (Eating early in the morning when I'm not hungry makes me gag/puke. he he) so lining up early does not work for me unless I have no option to do otherwise.

My first day data is skewed though since I went to St. Luke's the day after Typhoon Basyang (not sure if I remember the name correctly) hit Manila last July. There were very very few people around (max of 5 people on each floor).

When I went back two days after (Manila back to normal) to St. Luke's for my PE and immunization, I arrived at 12:30 p.m. and I was done at 3:30 p.m.

There is a line forming very early there, 5am. But my wife's friend was there super early at 5 and my wife arrived at 6:30. My wife was finished before her friend reached the halfway point. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to who they call first or last. Still, early is the safe bet.

hmmmmm this is confusing...hahahha

Not us.

Seems the best time to go is Tue or Wed at noon. Give yourself up to 3 days to complete the medical (in case you or your kids need to undergo a skin test, the results take 48 hours). And if memory serves me right, they don't do skin tests on Friday.
