 Posted: Thu Dec 03, 2009 5:30 am Post subject: MEDICAL EXAM QUESTION!!! |
 |
|
I have finally finished this ridiculous medical exam!
There is one problem. At the bottom of the medical exam it says "This form must be attested by one of the follow authorities, college of physicians or department of health."
Do we really need to do this? If so, where do I go?
Please help,
Thank you
(American medical exam) |

Try contacting your State's Health Department. I'm sure they have a local office that can verify that your doctor is legal.

I am in Texas. I called the Texas Licensing board for physicians. They sent me Three original documents that listed everything about my physician and they were notarized and stamped with a raised stamp. I attached one each to the medical forms and hopefully that will work. ALSO. My physician left several blanks on my medical forms. Of the three original forms, she sort of randomly checked this and that. So I just got my trusty black pen and filled in all the empty spots. Don't leave anything blank.
I sent in my paperwork last week. I have no idea if it will pass or not as my doctor would not order malaria or cholera tests, instead writing "No symptoms" or something similar on those two spots. |

| How and why should a doctor order a test for a disease there are no symptoms of? Saudi is mental. |

Plenty of serious illnesses such as malaria, AIDS and many forms of cancer do not produce symptoms in the early stages. So it's perfectly normal for doctors to order tests for symptom-free individuals.
I agree that the Saudi medical exam is very silly though. |

yeah but is malaria a contagious disease? or cancer? AIDS is, of course. I agree with AIDS testing. |

| In Texas, the state beaurocracy for this is a nightmare. Do it at the county level, if possible. In Collin County the solution is a breeze. Call the County Health Department and make an appointment with their MD that specializes in passport immunizations and such. She will sign and stamp all of your paperwork on the spot for free. |

Not sure what that has to do with anything. The point is that many symptom-free individuals are in fact suffering from serious illnesses, some communicable, some not. So my post was in response to your idea that it is 'mental' to test for diseases which are not producing any obvious symptoms. Many aspects of the Saudi medical exam are indeed mental, but this one is not. |

Of course malaria is a communicable disease; the mosquito bites you, picks up the parasite, and then infects somebody else.
I don't see any tests for cancer. |

If I had a dime for every time I've responded to this question I'd have a private jet on 24-hour standby--and it would be in Hawaii, not Riyadh.
I also got my medical done in Texas--Harris Cty., i.e., Houston. I don't care what the form says, it was not necessary to have it state-notarized. Some blood tests were done at my local clinic and I was sent to a large hospital for a couple of X-rays; my local doc signed it all.
Furthermore, the doc can sign off on anything he/she thinks is silly, as lab results do NOT have to forwarded separately. that includes X-rays. End of story. |

Look, you said that it was 'mental' that the Saudi medical form required doctors to 'order a test for a disease there are no symptoms of'. I responded that there is nothing at all 'mental' about this in and of itself, since plenty of serious diseases do not produce symptoms in the early stages.
It's true that some of the tests are silly, since most people are extremely unlikely to have the relevant illnesses. But that is a seperate issue. |
