Medical Exams, with cough and colds

[Al422 221]

7 days ahead is fine. Some people have gotten away with as little as 3.

But do you have to wait for the 22nd? Your period should be over by the 15th. You don't really have to wait 7 days after your period, They just tell you that to make sure it is over. As long as you are sure it is over, you are good to go.

If you can, you should consider going on the 16th or 17th because lines are shortest there on Thursdays and Fridays. Failing that, go Monday the 20th. That gives you 9 days, plenty of time in advance and plenty of time past your period as well.

When was the urine test discontinued? My wife did hers in May of this year and had a urine test. She went 8 days in advance of interview and did fine.

I am not sure when the urine test was discontinued. I had my medical last month along with my K2 and both of us have no urine test and as well all others on that day. I have been drinking lots water on that day so I can produce more urine but then no test was done.

Are you of child bearing age? That may have something to do with it. My wife is 41. I understand that men don't get the urine test, so it seems they are only using it as a pregnancy test.

If you think about it, that makes worries about blood contamination in the urine silly because if you are having your period, you are not pregnant.

In repots I have been reading from other countries, it seems they use the urine test selectively when they suspect drug use, which is silly as well because the drugs will show up in your blood and not every drug shows up in your urine.

I have been looking in Google for any change in policy at St. Lukes regarding urine tests and found nothing.

I am going to be 32 next week, my son is 11. I think they want to make sure that you don't have a period because of the pyshical exam where you have to undress and the doctor will look at the private parts and also during xray they will ask for your last period cos they want to make sure you will be properly protected in case you are pregnant.

I know about the first part. The technical instructions from the CDC to the doctors state that they must look.

As for the second, it makes sense that is why they ask for that info. But if you think about ti, the urine test (which my wife got back in May before her chest X-ray) may be for that exact reason, to check for pregnancy before they do the X-ray.

Speaking of urine test, I have spoken to some people who had their medical exams this week. They said there is no urine test that they have done. Some of the people also went to a psychological exam, specially those who have scars on their wrist..

Scars on the arms and many of the annulments get the "joy" of doing the psychological exam for sure.

Scars on the arms and many of the annulments get the "joy" of doing the psychological exam for sure.

These things cause them to consider the possibility that there is something wrong with you psychologically, even though there are many reasons why mentally healthy people get annulled and get scars on their wrists and hands.

My wife has a scar on her hand from a kitchen accident while she was working in Hong Kong. Although I prepared her for the possibility that they would send her to a psych, it never happened. I told her to not volunteer anything but if the doctor asked to just explain what happened. The doctor said nothing.

As for the urine test, it seems strange that there would be a significant change in policy with so little fanfare that there would be nothing that shows up in Google. I am fairly well convinced that it was done just to screen for pregnancy before they send you to the X-ray.

I guess I should have been more exacting. It isn't scars in general on the arm, it is cutting scars. My wife has a scar on her wrist from a surgery, the doctors do recognize the differences in scars.

My wfie's scar was from cutting; it was an accident with a food preparation knife while she was cleaning it.

- obviously the doctors recognized it as not being a suicide attempt.

They need to perform a urine test in my opinion to check for pregnancy,

How many poor guys are going to be surprised when they have their first child 8 months after arrival of their Fiance in USA

What would they do with that knowledge? Leave their fiances? They chose to have unprotected sex, now the consequence, an unplanned pregnancy, is upon them.

Well there's blood extraction, and it can be used to determine if a woman is pregnant
