Medical Examination

[Saorellana 0]

HELP! Idk what to do. My brother and family went in for their medical exam. Dr. suspects my brother has tb because of a spot on x-ray. My brother has never been diagnosed with anything, he's never even been suspected to have absolutely anything. Anyway, he was scheduled to have 3-day sputum test, wait 6-8 weeks for results and a month to do another x-ray. He was given a CD containing his x-rays. My brother, worried and devastated, decides to take it to three different clinics and ALL doctors don't see absolutely no spots, run more tests and conclude that he's as healthy as a "12 year old." My brother believes that it's either a scam or they confused his x-rays with someone else's. Coincidentally, that same day, there was someone else with his name. We dk if we should confront the clinic, ask them to retake the x-rays or go to the embassy and ask for another clinic. Your input would truly be appreciated. 😭

Sounds like they confused your brother with the other patient having the same name. Go back, point out what you’ve told us and ask them to review his file. Hopefully that will clarify things.

 

Best of luck!
