I wanted this info before my medicals. So some info for the benefit of ppl.
Made an appointment with DMP in Apollo clininc T Naga Chennai.
Make sure you have the 5 pp photos, and a digital copy of the same on a CD (not on a flash/ pen drive). Else there is a Meena photo studio nearby who would take a B/W pp photo and give the negative for Rs 100/ in 1 hr.
Be ready for a lot of paper work- several forms to be filled out.
Height, weight, vision and hearing test done by a nurse.
Then urine test
blood is drawn for the HIV/ VDRL test.
The doc then examines physically- it's quick also asks for ailments like diabetes hypertension, major surgeries, etc.
Checks BP, feels the lymph nodes- all done in 5- 10 min.
Then for the X- ray; this is what needs the negative or the digital pp photo. There was a long wait for us for the X ray, though it's done within seconds...
Need to have cash. Payment done at the counter for the lab tests and X ray and for the physical exam to the Dr.
We had 2 toddlers running riot in the lobby. Thankfully we had my MIL, niece and nephew taking good care of them as we ran around to get the negative since we did not have the digital images on a CD.
Toddlers have just a quick physical exam with height, weight and head circumference (they are 20 months old twins yet HC was taken). Once paper work was done and physical exam done for the kids, we had them taken home within an hour. We stayed on for another 2 hrs for all the tests. 3 hrs in all- not bad. was delayed only coz we didn't have negative or the digital image on CD.
best wishes,
