Major Problem...Pneumonia

[Madison Man 0]

Bad news at St Lukes today for my Fiance.

She has a Minor Pneumonia... This I know with my limited Medical experience will definitely show up on the Xray. Does anybody have any experience with this situation? Will they issue a Visa with a spot on her Lungs?

Im leaving today for Philippines to see her.

Can the problems ever stop?

No, this will not cause a problem. they are looking for TB a communicable disease. They are looking for communicable diseases that pose a health risk to other people such as AIDS, TB.

Madison Man,

when she goes to her medical, the doctor will ask her to get treatment for the pneumonia. She'll probably be cured by the time she gets her interview.

Good luck

You should have her get some antibiotics...I know they have Cipro there. I would think that it would be best if she was in top health for her medical exam, definitely try, at least.
