Just going to keep this short and straight to the point. When you obtained your first medical results, did any of you receive any unexpected findings (something other than drug use) that were enough to have your contract canceled? Additionally, were you able to resolve these findings after having a successful second examination?

If you unexpectedly discovered that you have the Ebola virus, be informed that the JR Pub in Itaewon will not allow you entrance.

I knew a guy who didn't expect his anti-anxiety meds to show up but they did. They didn't accept his explanation and wanted him to undergo a second round of more rigorous testing, he left instead.

I learned I have minor heart arrhythmia. Didn't cause any issues.

Excepting if you're from not-Africa.

Did he leave voluntarily or this his employer force him to leave?

I thought this was if you discovered you were black.

Many Korean employers are weird about employees having medical issues. I've seen people let go for having kidney failure, cancer and even pregnancy.

Both- being black or having Ebola. Whichever came first.
