[glow=red,2,300]MY MEDICALS EXPERIENCE AT SPS APOLLO HOSPITAL, LUDHIANA[/glow]
WE REACHED AT THE RECEPTION AT 9:30AM. THERE WERE ALREADY MANY PEOPLE WAITING FOR THEIR TURN, THEY HAVE COME FOR MEDICALS FOR DIFFERENT COUNTRIES THOUGH.WE WERE TOLD TO FILL A FORM AND SUBMIT. THE LADY AT THE RECEPTION CALLED OUR NAME AFTER 15 MINUTES AND ASKED TO DEPOSIT INR 4200/- PER PERSON AS MEDICAL FEE. THEN WE WENT TO MASTER HEALTH CHECKUP(MHC) ON THE SAME FLOOR WHERE THE LAB GUY TOOK OUR BLOOD AND URINE SAMPLES. THEY DO DIPSTICK ANALYSIS OF URINE AND SCAN BLOOD FOR SYPHILLS AND HIV. AFTER THAT WE HAVE TO GO TO ROOM 509 ON FIFTH FLOOR EYE TESTING...NORMAL PROCEDURE...FILLED OUR FORMS UPON CHECKING OUR EYESITE. THEREAFTER WE REPORTED TO VISA DESK SECTION ON GROUND FLOOR.IT WAS ALREADY 10:45 AM BY THEN. WE WERE TOLD TO WAIT FOR OUR TURN HERE.
AFTER NEARLY 1:30 HOURS OUR NAMES WERE CALLED.. FIRST OF ALL OUR PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN THEN WE WERE TOLD TO WAIT AGAIN FOR AROUND 30-45 MINUTES. AGAIN OUR NAMES WERE CALLED, THIS TIME FELLOW BEHIND DESK TOOK OUR PP COPY AND CHECKED OUR MED FORMS, AFTER ENTERING OUR DETAILS IN HIS SYSTEM HE GAVE US E MED FORMS AND INSTRUCTED TO GET CHEST XRAYS DONE...AGAIN AT MHC. AFTER XRAYS WE GAIN CAME BACK TO VISA DESK, AFTER TAKING WEIGHT AND HEIGHT WE WERE TOLD TO REPORT TO PHYSICIAN'S OFFICE.
AT 1:00PM WE WERE OUTSIDE DR'S ROOM..AFTER 45 MINUTES WE WERE TOLD THAT DOCTOR HAD AN EMERGENCY CALL TO ATTEND(MOST PROBABLY MUST HAVE BEEN LUNCH BREAK) SO THE THE ATTENDANT TOLD US EITHER TO WAIT OR COME AFTER 30 MINUTES. WE CAME BACK AT 2:15PM AND AFTER 30 MINUTES IT WAS OUR TURN. THE DOCTOR ASKED A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR PROFESSION, LIFESTYLE HABITS AND ANY PAST MEDICAL HISTORY. AFTER THAT HE TOOK BLOOD PRESSURE AND DID PHYSICAL EXAMINATION. AS WE BOTH HAVE MEDICAL BACKGROUND..HE PRESCRIBED US ADDITIONAL HCV AND HBsAg TO RULE OUT ANY CHANCE OF INFECTION. FOR THAT WE GAVE TO PAY ADDITIONAL 730/-PP. THE LAB GUY TOLD US NO NEED FOR NEW SAMPLES, AS HE STILL HAVE OLD SAMPLES. THEN WE CAME BACK TO VISA DESK
IT WAS 3:15PM BY THEN. THE GUY AT THE DESK TOLD US..OUR MEDICALS ARE DONE AND TOOK OUR E MED FORMS FOR STAMPING, LATER RETURNED BACK TO US.
MY SUGGESTION TO FELLOW FORUMITES, NO NEED TO PANIC. DRINK AROUND 2-3 LITRE WATERS IN THE PRECEDING WEEK, CUT DOWN ON SALT AND FRIED,JUNK FOOD. INCREASE FRUITS AND CEREALS IN YOUR DIET. NO SMOKING AND DRINKING ...STOP IT WEEKS AHEAD OF YOUR MEDICALS.
(I WAS HAVING CHOLESTEROL AND URIC ACID ON HIGHER SIDE...BUT IT ALL WENT FINE)
HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU GUYS...GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PROCESS.
