Okay, we all know that they are looking for HIV. But what else?
TB?
Hepatitis B?
Diabetes?

If we fail the medical test we will probably have to fly home on our own coin. It would be a tradjedy for people to fly over to Korea to work here only to be sent home because of some *mysterious* medical test.

They are looking for drug addicts and alcoholics (they may use some liver function test for this). I recently had a blood test and I had some elevated enzyme (LST) in my liver. My doctor asked me if I drink a lot. I don't drink! After I told him that I don't drink he turned to my Korean fiance and asked her in Korean if I'm an alcoholic!

I am concerned about this medical test.

Does anyone know *for sure* what they will be testing for.

They're not testing for anything.
They're just taking samples so they can do a mix n match and clone a superteacher, thereby saving on all the airfares. Plus housing will be in the basement with the lab rats I imagine.
