the one you need to get the ARC and finalise everything - what exactly happens?!
is there a standard set of examinations the doc will do - hit you on your knee, ask you to read the eyesight chart etc..or what?
i've just heard various things, so i'ma little confused. i don't like hospitals at the best of times, let alone in a foreign place not really knowing what's going to happen.
cheers |

They take blood, make you pee in a cup, take a chest xray, eye chart, blood pressure. I think thats it  |

EPIK medical - undertaken on each of the 380 teachers at a recent orientation:
Chest x-ray, eyesight, hearing and blood pressure test - 2 vials of blood taken (to test for STDs, drugs/alcohol, and infectious diseases).
This produced an official looking document (all in Korean) so GET's could get their ARC card. It cost GET's 55,000 won.
Good luck |
