Hello, all......
Congratulations to everyone with updates, including those who have gotten theirs and those who haven't (it's on the way). Amen!
I have a little experience to share with the house, especially those going for medicals.
The e-medical thing is a really great thing, we all know it helps the PR process a lot faster. I will like, however, to sound a word of caution to everyone....it's not foolproof.....and each and everyone of us must be our own failsafe in the process.
I had my medicals done on 27th July 2013, along with a friend and his family. (We actually met that day for the first time at Consultants Practice, but became good friends thereafter). We were quite excited that it was e-medicals, and were looking forward to PPR in a few weeks. My ecas had "Medical results have been received" on 17th August, while his had no change. Of course, we didn't think much of it.....Gel003 had PPR without it, anyway...
We both became a little worried that people like Ikemba and Midas, with whom we did medicals together around the same time were receiving PPR. In late October, we decided to make case specific enquiries, so we mailed Accra thru CIC. Autoresponse of mail being received at both ends. Then, last Tuesday, I got my PPR, but my friend didn't get his.
On Friday, he got a call from Accra. The person at the end of the line told him that his son's medical results hadn't been received!!!! Surprising, isn't it? Here was a little boy, whose medicals were done on the same day with the whole family....of course, off he went to Consultants Practice, only to be told that "the e-medical could have bounced back because of network issues" and no one was the wiser!!! They apologized, and resent it.
He got his PPR yesterday afternoon.....
We were both in shock after the whole event.....what if we hadn't made the CSE? Is that how things would just have gone down the drain? Accra didn't call about an incomplete medical until after the CSE. COnsultants Practice didn't check their system for successful delivery of the e-medical.....and we were just waiting patiently for PPR that wasn't going to come!
So, pls, people.....we are our own failsafe. After your medicals, I would prescribe a monthly CSE.......so that important issues like this would be identified and given speedy attention.
God will see us thru......
