hello sis!...from my experienced my medical in st lukes was just one day and i

got the result in the same day...If you don't have problem with your chest x'ray

you are good to go,and also if you are annulled you had to see the Psychiatrist

and pay for 1,000pesos for personal evaluation.that will make a bit of delay

your medical...good luck! and God bless...

Exactly, the exam can take up-to 3 days, 'not' every applicants medical examination and process is the same read the link. You will find this under Working Flowchart. Prepare for three days hope for less.

...and if something might come up that needs further treatment or evaluation, prepare for weeks or more. If all is well with health, no need to worry about it being more than two or three days. The flowchart that says 'Day 3' is actually dependent on a TB skin test which takes 48 hours before the results can be examined. Day 1 is for all. The other 2 depend on if you got the TB skin test or not. If you are 15 years or older, you would not get the TB skin test as you would be getting the chest x-ray. Click the appropriate link then to see where your flow would lead. No TB skin test, nothing abnormal with health, done in no time.

If I remember correctly only if no history of TB or exposed, to someone with TB.

Not sure. That is what the website says, "under 15". My understanding is since every one older is getting a chest x-ray (which comes after a positive skin test under normal medical procedures), it would cancel out a need for a skin test. The doctors would be working backwards. If anything came up in the x-ray, they would move on to sputum and culture tests.

That is true. Remember: If PPD skin test is positive, next procedure is chest x-ray to see abnormality and check for active TB. Of course, they will also collect your sputum for further test. Once positive in PPD skin test, it will be positive for the rest of your life. But it doesn't mean right away you have an active TB, it just mean you have the bacteria in your system, that's why they need further tests.

I don't think it's on the website ether. A chest x-ray would not show latent TB 'hence' history of TB or exposed, to someone with TB. Think I came across this at one point reading, time for me to do some research.
