Hello how is everything? I am sorry,kinda busy here. For today just want to share my medical experience at SLEX (St. Luke’s Extension Clinic 1177 J. Bacobo St., Ermita, Manila). We had our medical exam August 25, 2009. Since, we are from Pampanga, Me and my son together with my older sister left in the house 2 am in the morning,we catched bus on Dau Terminal, my poor son he was throwing up on the bus he don’t like the smell inside the bus. I feel sorry for him. When we arrived 4 am in St.Lukes I was surprise because there are 20 people I think who were online nah! So I fell in line the guard said they will open 5am and they will give number too Had to wait for an hour, exactly 5am the guard entertain the applicants, I was wondering why most of the applicants they have a appointment letter and their destination is US ( I think at that time I am the only Canada applicant ) so I don’t mind so when its my turn on the guard he asked me If I have an appointment letter I said no just only appendix C, I showed to him and he said for Canada applicants they will open 7 am ( what the F*** ). My purpose that’s why we went there early so that we can finish early the medical :(
After 2 hours of waiting again finally the guard let us in, my poor sister she can’t go inside, she had to wait us outside,anyway
these are the steps as far as I remember :)
1. Reception Area 5th floor – the guard asked what country? I said Canada so he showed to me the counter for Canada(in this counter they entertain also Australia and New Zealand ). There is a lady guard, get number to her (show passport) then she will give you the forms that you need to fill up all the check marks you have to fill up. While waiting your number to be called prepare your pictures 6 pcs. each white or blue background, don’t forget to put name at the back of your photos . When your number called give the forms. Passport and pictures, the woman will check if you answer all the check marks and you have signature. After, the papers been checked its time for Digital Picture Taking Section. After Picture taking, you will pay on the cashier, just only beside the elevator. Then return again on the counter give your receipt and passport. Then just sit and wait your name to be call for Height and Weight, Eye Check Up,Vital Signs and Physical Examination all of these done on 5th floor.
2. 4th floor – you need to fill up a form again for urine and HIV test for adults
3. 3rd floor X- Ray this is the horrible part for me because I waited for almost 3 hours here, My son was crying because he is so hungry and get bored waiting my name to be call so, I talked to the woman why until now they don’t call my name? she said just wait but I told to her that I been waiting for 3 hrs nah! Then she ask what is my name then she looked my papers and it was just on the table with big envelop, they don’t even get it actually I noticed that envelop but I was not sure if that was mine, so the woman forward to the guy and finally had my X-Ray. After that waited for 10 minutes they gave back my papers and told me to go back to 5th floor again
4. 5th floor releasing, waited for an hour! Thank God, finally got our copy of medical report.
I am praying that everything will be ok. We have done our part, so lets trust him that he will do the rest! Thank you Lord for guiding us on medical!
