Health issue chest X-ray scar

rpaid · November 2017

@PMPdreamer Thanks for that info! Another question, although naka schedule ako 19 December for repeat x-ray, I know na 7 December yung 8th week ng sputum culture ko. Can I call them for the result of the culture ng 7 December or do I have to wait 19 December din? Thanks in advance!

PMPdreamer · November 2017

@rpaid Ieexplain nila sayo ung result ng culture test pag nakuha na result ng xray. If i think about it, mas efficient nga naman kung iexplain nila sayo pag may resulta na yung xray kasi isang upuan na lang yung explanation. Saka kumpleto lahat ng evidences and enough to make a conclusion/recommendation. Punta ka ng maaga sa xray mo para same day makuha mo result. In my case, andun na ko ng mga 7am, nakuha ko result ko ng mga 10 ata, natapos yung interpretation mg 1pm...

@PMPdreamer I see, makes sense nga. Thanks for the very helpful advice!

Hi everyone, I had my medical exam last dec 4 and nationwide txted me that have a scar in my left upper lung. The doctor said Na wait ng advice ng embassy if I have to undergo sputum culture or not. I have no history of TB but I've had bronchitis and pneumonia when I was younger. Wala din akong mapakitang previous X-ray Ko kasi the last time I had my X-ray was 2013 and healthway deleted my record already. I remember healthway did 2 X-rays on me Dahol May nakita Rin silangang scar before. Pero di ako pina take ng any medication and was actually cleared to work. I'm applying for a student visa and my class will start on February 12, 2018. I'm worried Na baka di ako maka abot Sa class. I've also read that there are some cases Na pina fulfill ng health undertaking ang applicant and fun Na Sa Australia mag pa check ulit. Do you have any idea ba pano ma offer yung health undertaking? Thank you...

@Behatti depende talag un sa CO. Like in my case, nanghingi ng health undertaking kasi despite of series of tests wala sila nakita. Pero in ur case, since alam naman kung san galing ung scar then baka magpa health undertaking na lang, kaya lang may mga CO na sigurista na nagpapa test pa talaga, lalo kung walang maipakitang proof of claim ng cause ng scar.

@#17 Pag nag login ka dito https://www.emedical.immi.gov.au/eMedUI/eMedicalClient
at nakalagy sa tb test na completed, chances are cleared kana. Wait ka na lang ng official clearance from dibp. It will say health clearance provided-no action required.

@inhinyero16 Any updates on your case? Did DIBP asked you to go for another repeat x-ray? Similar case here. Thanks.

rpaid · December 2017

@PMPdreamer In my case, SLEC recommended for another repeat x-ray after 3 months. Do you know what's the possible outcomes for this scenario?

zballesteros · December 2017

tanong lng po, nakakaapekto po ba ang gallstones sa medical exam?
thank you so much!

@rpaid If there is no difference with first and repeat xray then you have high chances of being cleared. If there is a change, then the decision will depend on attending officer from Australia. It is quite difficult to predict the outcome on 2nd situation. It is important not to take any medication if the attending doctor from SLEC didnt advise you to do so, neither take any actions that could result to improvement of 2nd xray. If there are white lines in both lungs visible in your 1st xray, your repeat xray should show the same.

PMPdreamer · December 2017

@rpaid at ngayon ko lang narealize nagtatagalog ka pala, i just saw prev conv naten, ang haba ng english ko lol!

romarie · December 2017

@inhinyero16 Hi. Yung old xray ba na sinubmit mo for comparison ay clear or may findings din? Thank you.

rpaid · December 2017

@PMPdreamer Haha. Thanks for the reply. Well, nasa 2nd situation na ko. My repeat x-ray came back with slight improvements so SLEC recommended another repeat x-ray (my third x-ray if ever) after 3 months. My sputum culture was negative and I'm sure wala naman ako meds na tinake. Hopefully DIBP decides against another repeat x-ray! [-O<

PMPdreamer · December 2017

@rpaid kung Dec 19 2nd xray mo that means ung gap ng 1st and 2nd mo is not even 3 months? Tapos ngayon mag repeat xray ka ulet after 3 months which is on approx March 20?

rpaid · December 2017

@PMPdreamer Yung 1st x-ray ko was around mid-September so 3 months naman yung gap between 1st and 2nd. Sana masubmit na ng SLEC before end of year yung results para makapag decide na DIBP if another 3 months or hindi. [-O<

@PMPdreamer @rpaid. Hello po. Id like to ask some things. We are planning to take our medicals (with husband and 2 kids 4 &13yo) on jan 2018. Dito pa kami iloilo manggagaling. I need to know gaano po katagal mga test? Like one day ba kakayanin? Then if may mga repeat sa lab malalaman din naman on the same day? We plan to spend 4 to 5 days in manila including weekends. Enough time na ba yun? Thanks

PMPdreamer · December 2017

@chococrinkle yung buong process you can complete it in half day. It will take one week to get results depende kung may holiday in between. Saken dati umabot ng halos 2 weeks dahil may holiday. Within that timespan, tatawagan ka nila kung kelangan ng further test. To answer your question, hindi enough ang 5 days if further test is needed. Kakailanganin mo na bumalik for sure.

PMPdreamer · December 2017

@rpaid check mo na kasi sa site kung nasubmit na hehehe... at kung di pa, pede ka mangulet. Kasi ako dati naipit sa asean holiday kaya nadelay sila at may karapatan akong mangulet hehehe

chococrinkle · December 2017

@PMPdreamer thanks for the feeeback. So if ever need talaga bumalik ulit if there will be further tests. Hoping na wala na sana. :-)

clj2012 · December 2017

Good day, ask ko po sana, meron ba Naka experience dito na may trace Ng sugar/glocuse yung urine test, pinapaulit kasi Ng laboratory sa husband ko.. Concern ba Yung if ever para sa approval Ng visa, worry kasi namin baka may pre diabetes sya..Salamat

#17 · December 2017

@PMPdreamer pg.ang nilagay ay 'health case was submitted to DIBP' meaning ba ok na sa BUPA? Salamat

rpaid · January 2018

Health assessment finally completed. Back to waiting game na din.

chococrinkle · January 2018

@rpaid Hi. Id like to ask sana. Ano yung blood tests included sa medical? Cholesterol and sgpt for liver meron ba? Si husband kasi may previous history na medyo borderline results nya though matagal na yun at wala naman syang medication, nag advise lang ang Dr for healthy diet. Also may kids ka din ba nag medical? Thanks

rpaid · January 2018

@chococrinkle Hi, as far as I know HIV test lang yung blood test. Yes, my toddler ako na nag medical din. For her, medical examination lang, wala ng chest x-ray and blood test.

chococrinkle · January 2018

@rpaid ah ganun ba? Buti naman kung ganun. This dec kasi naparami ang kain ng sweets and fatty baka kako mg manifest sa blood test kaya todo diet kami ni hubby. Hehehe.. Also another question, anong TB test kinuha mo kay toddler? Prefer ko sana IGRa para di na pabalik balik kasi may tendency mag false positive nakapag bcg vaccine si 4yo ko. Tumawag kami sa st lukes ermita everyday meron sila dun kaya plan namin sa st lukes nalang si toddler on a later sched pero kami ni hubby at panganay sa nationwide para matapos na kami agad.
