i had TB 8 years ago and got the complete set of meds. The disease did not register sa medical results ko sa NHSI tho i declared it, complete with submission of medical clearance issued by my pulmo doctor 8 yrs ago (Makati Med din). in the clearance letter, it didnt say what specific medications i went through. sinabi lang ng pulmo doctor, completed the 6-month treatment and is fit for work. ganun lang. the NHSI demanded the list of meds. my MMC doctor has gone abroad, wala na sa MMC. i told NHSI doctor that. then sabi lang, okay that's fine just write an affidavit that the dr is gone, and then bahala na i-take ni CEM if the letter clearance I submitted is enough. i also provided my 2011 xray. actually, tinago ko talaga ang mga xray fiilms ko every year because TB is a serious disease lalo na for employment and/or visa purposes. Anyway, ang duda ko kaya they let me just write the affidavit (sinabi nila ito mga 2 weeks after) eh hindi nag-register ang scar sa xray ko. my xray results for the last 4 years ng films have been clear. So no scar, no sputum test needed. Duda ko lang naman na ito ang nangyari sa kin.
But parang weird naman yung MMC pulmo mo. Just because walang proof, eh kelangan ulitin ang meds? Hindi pa ba sinasabi ng MMC pulmo what disease? Ang duda ko, since nakita na active pa rin from the sputum test, and walang ma-present na proof of treatment, gusto nila gawin ulit ang treatment. Meron pa bang nakikitang ibang disease from sputum test aside from TB?
