Medical Checkup

[specialized]

I called JPA, private clinics' medical checkup reports are not approved by JPA, which means we have to go to GOVERNMENT or private HOSPITAL to do our medical checkup. The only condition is: MUST BE HOSPITAL.

Usually our family doctor has our medical history for many many years.. Some even have your records since the day you're born. Your family doctor should know you very well, what medicine you can take or cant, which one is effective for you n so on.. Now you're going to study in a far place, n JPA x allows our family doctor to write that report, this is simply funny..

For blood test, it is conducted by professional labs. Their reports are very detail and internationally recognised and yet JPA not approves the private clinic's reports.

We all know that, government hospitals are super crowded at all time.. This is because they offer the cheapest medical service in the country. You'll need super long time or maybe the whole day (depends on the number of the patients on that day and your local hospital's efficiency) to conduct all the medical checkup required by JPA.

If JPA allows us to do our medical checkup in private clinics, it'll certainly save us from all the hassels n the bustles.. Dunno how they think.. haiz..

thanks for the info.. i also think of doing medical check up in private hospital as the government hospital is too crowded and wasting a lot of time.. hiaz.. but since jpa wanna the report from government hospital then we cant do anything dy.. but i wondering is the government hospital can do all the medical check up in one month??

[white2020]

Petronas Do listed out some Private clinics all over the country that we can make our medical check-up and in the same time we can do it at Gorvernment Hospotal.

Kinda better right?

I got the Petronas offer letter today and i have skimmed through it... :)

[chenchow]

I guess it is about recognition, as there might be bogus private clinics around. I guess the flexibility of government allowing private hospitals medical check-up is a good step forward, although its availability might only be limited to bigger cities.

I did my medical check-up in government hospitals, and I would say I manage to go through the whole process quite fast. Do give it a try. Go early (8am) when they open, and that would save you a bunch of time. Avoid Monday morning, as that's usually the pick. Choose either Tues/Wed/Thurs. It is usually less crowded on those days.

In fact, when you get admitted to those universities abroad and they would require you to do medical check-up again, and they would not take private clinic doctors' report.

[JuDy89]

so we really cant do medical check up in private clinics?even though having the tibi test in the government hospital?the buku syarat-syarat tawaran did say that we can do medical check up in private clinics though..so is it alright?

[nysha]

does the place where u r suppose to do ur medical checkup matter tht much....juz move on...if its to b in the govt hospital...so be it...i m sure jpa has their ownb reasons on y it shuld be conducted there...

btw according to my doctor ppl usually pay pvt clinic to fake their medical report so tht culd be one reason y it shuld be done in the govt hosp...

O course, blood test is compulsory. They take quite many bloods.. Vert scary 1 you know.. If you're too nervous and the needle 'patah' halfway, lagi scary.. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[jac6198]

[white2020]

How long did u all take to have a medical checkk-up??

As, just now i phoned some private clinics listed by Petronas, they said approximately 1 hour...

And do we need to pay for the medical check-up in provate clinics or GH?

[Kevin89]

I went for the medical check today and it cost me RM 147, but don't know whether they will charge extra when i go take my reports after 3 days :?

No lar. Not all gov hospital give you free.
Juz went for my medical check up dis morning. Even though I brought both my parents' (gov servant) offer letter, they say that STUDENTS have to pay * Pemeriksaan untuk tujuan melanjutkan pelajaran kena bayar*(dunno why) . I paid RM 175.00. For others ( not students) they only need to pay RM20.00!
You need to bring a copy of your JPA offer letter and you need to fill in a lot of forms there. So, remember to bring along a ball pen there.
However, I am very satisfied with the service there. Very fast. Quite a lot of people but the longest you have to wait is only 10 minutes. Good service for a government hospital huh?
I reach there at 8am and completed my whole check up at 10am. Didn't expect it to be that early. The RM 175.00 is really worth it. The result can be obtained 2 weeks later.
Another thing, for the blood test, it is painless! You'll just feel a bit numb during the whole process. The place they cucuk is also accurate and only need to cucuk once. No mistakes made. Good. :-)

[jojyi]

Mine here in Melaka is super duper SLOW!haih...the ppl work there showed me "the face" when i asked them what should i do??haih...mine costs rm 175...As for boys it's rm155...haha..we need the pregnancy test!haha..n for Melaka, we need to do medical check up in peringgit(mostly all) but for urine morphine we need to go back to melaka hospital...Rush here n there... :( n need to urine for TWICE!haha...luckily i drank a lot of water!haha :lol:

[Vint]

I done part of the test today too...must go back to the hospital again for mantoux test....dunno why they only fix certain day for it...

[jojyi]

Dont worry it's not painful.I watch the nurse inject into my hand.After 3 days we need to go back to let the nurse check the reaction of it.(Don't ask me why)haha.It's nothing!juz relax!

[illusions]

joyjyi....ah siok here...u sure u have to go back to the hospital 3 days later for the mantoux test again? the nurse didn't ask me to that also......and how come u pay 175? i pay 155 including the pregnancy test also.....weird...

[illusions]

sigh....i wonder what's wrong with my nurse..she didn't told me to that... :( .....

[Vint]

Then you better go back to the department again after 3 days or give them a call,or else i'm afraid is the cannot get the result for the test,then they might inject the second time....tat is what i'm afraid of..so i'll go back there after 3 days..

Agree, the blood test and mantoux test is not painful. The blood test is interesting, you can see the doctor take out your blood from your vein. Mantuox test is a bit like BCG, th doctor or nurse will just inject something into yous skin. After 3 days they will take some readings. For more information, you can go here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantoux) to check.

[jojyi]

Siok, sorry for late reply.So how's the test again?did the nurse inject today?hope everything is ok... :wink:

[mumeichan]

I would like to know, did any of you fast(did not eat food in the morning and you last meal was 9pm the previous day) before taking the urine test(cos got glucose test). Cos I have wated so many days going here and there, I dun want to go to the Seremban Klinik Keshitan tommorow and then they tell me to go and go back cos I did not fast.

thanks for your concern.. i went back to the deparment again and met the same nurse who attended to me the previous time. eventually, i found out that they didn't do mantoux test on me even though i paid for it already. my mum was really furious and questioned her how come she didn't do that test on me. and imagine what was her answer " Saya Pun Tak Tau"....i feel like strangaling her..i mean she was responsible to carry out that test but still she can answer me like that..sigh..tmr i have to return to the department again just for that test....sigh..now i truly understand the difference between a goverment hospital and a private hospital....in short, BAD experience for me for the medical checkup...

p/s: i will like to thank those who posted reply in this topic..if it wasn't because of you guys, i would not have even realised that i haven't done the mantoux test! thanks ya! big warm hug for u guys! :D

i went 2 checked the mantouz test result 2day.
The nurse used a ruler to press n measure the diameter of the place where i got injection. According to the nurse, if the diameter(reddish area oso counted, weird~)is more than 10mm, then we are consider abnormal. I got 10mm, just passed , haha~one of my friend get 1mm only(actually he got nothing on his hand oredi, just a small dot).may b he is healthier than me, hehe~

"Saya pun tak tau" What a irresponsible answer, it sounds worse than "Maaf, saya terlupa buat." The only thing i don't like govt hospital is some of the staffs very irresponsible and they just want to finish off their work fast. Some even shows that face ( :x or :? )when you trying to ask him/her something.

Reddish area also counted?? Cause i searched about mantuox test in wikipedia and it said something like this:
The reaction is read by measuring the diameter of induration (palpable raised hardened area) across the forearm (perpendicular to the long axis) in millimeters. No induration should be recorded as "0 mm". Erythema (redness) should not be measured.

[mumeichan]

The medical checkup was a big hassle for me. First, on tuesday I went to Hospital Putrajaya, then they tell me to go to Klinik Kesihatan Putrajaya. Then after waiting and waiting, they say must make appointment and earliest is in July. So they say they will help me take X Ray only and the rest do in Nilai. So take X Ray and then wait for doctor. After an hour or so, see the doctor just for the doctor to tell me better i do everything in Nilai cause better one physician sign of everything.

Then on thurday I went to Klinik Salak Tinggi cause there they have better equipment and the place is very near to my house. But they say must go to nilai since I stay in Negeri Sembilan.(I stay at the border). So I went to Nilai, then they say there don't have drug test for urine, so tell me to go to Kelinik Kesihatan Rasah in Seremban, 30 Km from where I stay.

Friday I went there, they tell me have to pay RM165 and give me Borang Pemeriksaan Kesihatan IPTS even though I explain everything to her. And then tell me wait for three week for the result. So I scared it may be delayed. So I went to private hospital nearby. Two hours all the test done. Mantoux test must go back on monday to collect and urine/blood test must come on tuesday coz this is weekend. The HIV test also they did the Eliza method cause overseas only accept that one. But it cost me RM280 plus when I go and collect the result, pay more consultation fee. 50-80 each time I see the doctors face.And the urine test I am suppose to have my last meal 3 hours before the test.

Patients with organ transplants and other immunosuppressed patients

I did the same day with the blood and urine test. Today they called me and ask me to come for the mantoux test reading and also the report. They also said, "You need to pay another RM 109 for the lab research fee".

So total is 147 + 132 = RM 279 at private hospital.

the medical checkup is quite troublesome as we have to at least go to hospital for 3 times for the whole process..

[mumeichan]

Yeah it is troublesome. Maybe JPA wanna test us. But I have to pay consultation fee 3 times. Not to mention the petrol and toll.

I am getting worried, the injection area for the mantoux test isn't getting raised. Already 1 day.

The mantoux test is really expensive. I paid 94 for the test it self. The urine and blood test only came out to 100+.

Actually I wonder why we even need to do the mantoux test. We have received two BCG shots already. Plus BCG shot interfere with the mantoux test result. If the really want to test us for TB, might as well use a sputum test with is so much more accurate onlything you need to go back and forth for three days.

[syamil_1]

yes, according to wikipedia, more than 5mm is oredi consider smth wrong some where~ but it also stated there reddish compound are not counted, whereas the raised hardened area should b counted.
haha` , but,this web page has not been updated 4 quite a long time` so , i doubted 4 its trueness.... hihi~
besides , the mantoux test result differ for ppl from country to country, so malaysian calculations might b differrent, (correct me if i m wrong)

is it true that we really can't do our medical check up in private clinic? i have go and ask the private clinic and they only charge rm50 for all excluding the x-rays. And one of my freinds told me that we can do our medical check up in private clinic and take the medical report to the goverment hospital to ask them to fill in the medical examination form for us while we go for the last part of checking (x-ray)in the goverment hospital.

SO HOW?

Better don't go private clinic.. I called JPA myself, TWICE. Private clinic is not allowed although private clinic's report comes with pathlab blood test report and so on..

U can try ringing them up and see.. Maybe they accept it at the last minute.

My test is rm155 for all the tests required by JPA and INTEC, i did 2 times of urine tests, 3 blood tests, x-ray, TIBI test and other physical checkups.

[pinkdolphin]

Sorry for my ignorance but may i know wether the Mantoux test is necessary for JPA scholars going to INTEC?

For those of you who went for the test are you all going to INTEC?

The tibi test is necessary. Anyone knows when the swelling will come down as mine didn't really change for the past few days.

[mumeichan]

The tibi test is necessary. Anyone knows when the swelling will come down as mine didn't really change for the past few days.

Why don't you call up the doctor and see.

Mine was checked today. He did not measure the size with a ruler. He just poked and press and inspected if I has BCG or not. Then he say the result is negative.

If really JPA won't accept my medical check done in a private hospital. I 'll just tell them government hospital takes too long. One quoted my 3 week and another told me earliest I can do is in July. If the kick up a fuss then I'll just tell I'll go and do another one in government clinic.

[evan89]

Just play dumb.

One the day you report to the college, just tell them the government clinic said that they can't complete the report on time. So according to the blue book, you can do in private clinic if the report can't be done on time.

ur private means private hospital or private clinic

[amin_inspired]

guys, if you read the Buku Panduan INTEC 2007 book, it clearly says:

Page 10
3. Membuat Pemeriksaan Kesihatan

- Anda perlu menjalani pemeriksaan kesihatan di klinik kerajaan/swasta dengan tanggungan sendiri...

:wink: :wink:

[evan89]

[white2020]

[Kevin89]

I pay a total amount of RM 362 for my MEdical check up, how come?
Where did u do your medical check up? Cause i done it in private hspital and it cost me RM 279.

[Susyi]

I have called the Jpa hq this afternoon. And kindly be informed that we can't do our medical check up in private clinic.If yhe goverment hospital really can't make it on time, then we have to go to the private hospital but not hte private clinic. Or else u can make it in GOVERMENT clinic.

[amin_inspired]

If there's one thing I've learned is that at Recom, recomers worry too much...

think logically. There are 1800 scholars. I bet reading that private clinics is allowed from the INTEC book, at least 30-50% will do it it private clinics.

Do you really think JPA/INTEC will tell around 900 students that the 100-300 ringgit they paid was a waste and had to do it again in government clinics/hospitals??? After THEY themselves say (in the book) that it was okay??

Sure government clinic can?

I am quite sure government clinic can. Cause I went to Hospital Putrajaya and the told me to go to Klinik Putrjaya, then after some problem here and there I ended up in Klinik Nilai which told me to do it in Klinik Rasah which is Hospital Besar Seremban's little sister.

Different private hospital will charge differently. I think if someone did it in Assunta Hospital, it would be about Rm400.

[jingguo]

to be safe, i would recommend all of you to do it in government hospitals or private hospitals. and, yes you have to bear the cost.

there was some last time who did it in private clinics initially, but JPA returned back their medical report and asked them to do it again in government of private hospitals. so they have to undergo everything again...

I am wondering, how would JPA know if someone did it in a private clinic or a private hospital? Cause it is only like the private hospital is going to put down some chop on the form.

For governmen hospital it is easy cause the doctor for gamen servant grade. But private clinic and private hospital doctor is similar.

You can do the mantoux test a few time. No harm.

But it is not advisable to do an x-ray more than one time as exposure to x-rays lead to cancer.

[jingguo]

yes i am a JPA scholar.. did my AUSMAT in INTEC and now doing medic in IMU...

as to the previous questions, you need to go to the hospitals (may it be government of private) just so to have the hospital cop... private clinics may not be as established... think of this.. private clinics can close down anytime... and the doctors might just vanish.. but for private hospitals, its a much larger institution and more reliable and trustworthy for the JPA to confirm the validity of the tests...

dont take x-ray too many times.. it does leads to cancer.. have a well three months before you do another x-ray.. if you do have taken the x-ray from provate clinics and it is taken within the last 3 months, bring them to the private hospitals and tell them you have taken them before.. they would not ask you to ge another one normally..

[evan89]

okok... I could phone jpa again 2molo to confirm again
if they rejected private clinic den i would go to private hospital coz government hospital is definitely cant give me de result in time..
thx for the advice... Btw JPA realli call those do in private clinic redo dey test even they already start their study?

Here is mine medical check-up experience. I'm in Penang, Perai. 1st,i go 2 Bukit Mertajam Hosp. After they see my form, they reject me n told me 2 go bac 2 Seberang Jaya Clinic 2 do,cz I'm Seberang Jaya resident."Kami Tak Buat Sebab Kamu Dari Seberang Jaya,Pergi Klinik Seberang Jaya Buat" Dats wat they say. 8O

FINE! Then I go 2 Seberang Jaya Clinic,tell me 2 cum bac the next morning (Wednesday) wif RM125. On Wednesday, I go at 8 a.m. n be the 1st 2 do medical check-up dat day.Process is quite fast.1st do my X-ray,then take blood pressure,height......,next,sight test,urine test,blood test.....bla...bla.....

Then, they tell me 2 do blood test 4 TPHA n Hepatitis at private cz they say the clinic din provide dis service .8O (Btw,I inject 4 times b4 they really get my blood, cz they say:"salur darah kamu terlalu halus la.. Tak nampak..." So, my hand all bruise over now :( )

Therefore, I go Pathlab n took blood test n luckily, they r more pro as they get my blood at the 1st injection.

Bout the mantoux test, the clinic told me 2 go 2 Hosp. Seberang Jaya 2 do. Go there on Friday, inject Tuberculin into my arm n tell me 2 cum bac on Monday (3 days later). They say they specify the days 4 mantoux test cz hv 2 check after 3 days n there's clinic days.(Nurses there r friendly)

My mantoux test is 7mm n the nurse say nothing. They even give me vitamin as they say I m thin,need 2 put on some weight.(I like them). Vitamin will increase my apetite.

Pathlab report's out n my Hepatitis B antibody is nonreactive. They recommended me to take immunization. So, injections again....Haiz..

Not every college is the same. There may be some colleges that will not have a JPA officer on the day you sign up. So better everyone call JPA and make sure that there will be someone at the college. If not they consider you reject the offer.

jojyi n siok , when will we get our medical checkup report actually ? after two weeks or three weeks ?

[avonz]

Do we REALLY need the medical check up full report from the hospital?? Coz i thought jpa only ask for the laporan pemeriksaan perubatan JPA/BL/KESIHATAN/1/2006. We have to wait for 2 - 3 weeks for it, so the medical report might not get to be done in time. Can't we just see a doctor and ask him to fill in the health declaration forms after we already done the blood, urine & mantoux test & x-ray?? Somebody pls explain, I'm so confused :( :(

I did email the jpa to ask bout de emdical checkup
and the reply is we can onli do at government hospital or private hospital...

hmm....i went for the medical checkup on 28th may..and i'll be receiving the report on 13th june since i'm doing it in government clinic..so roughly bout 2 weeks plus...pretty long...i think if u do it in private hospital, you will get your medical report earlier and even faster... :D

[jojyi]

ya wat siok says is true...i did the day aft her but my report will b out the same day as hers which is 13 june...hehe..pin, u better do it earlier if u wanna do it in government hospital... :wink:

[KA]

I have to wait for two weeks two.Din even do the mantoux test becoz the health officer there din say anything about it.I just got a simple check up following by X-ray urine test & blood test. Afterall, i even doubted that there is no such "high-tech" thingy test here in Miri although it is just a simple test.

yes.. JPA would delay their payment if you're late in sending all the related documents to them.. they need some time to run through everything, so the later you hand in your documents, the later you get your $$$...

i'm not sure about doing it in private clinics.. but so far, my east malaysian friends all did their med scheck in hospitals, either private or gov.. but never heard of anyone who did theirs in clinics.. so the safest would be doing it in private hospitals la, if you dont want to wait..

aiyooo.. that's what i've said al this while la.. just do it in the private hospitals... then you'll save all the unnecessary problems of having to redo them again in hopitals if you did it the first time in the clinics... dont care what jpa says la... as long as you've done it in hospitals (either in private or government ones, then JPA would sure has nothing else to say la...

I did my Hepatitis B & TPHA blood test in Pathlab For RM50.So, the total of medical check-up I spent is RM175.

Well, for the Hepatitis B, pathlab did the whole set for me. They test my antigen & antibody at the same time. Dat's why i noe my antibody is nonreactive. Some of my frens did it at other place, so they din test for antibody (RM 35,cheaper). But, now dat I noe my antibody is nonreactive, my dad said better go & take immunization before start my studies. I hav took the 1st dose, and have 2 more doses at July & Dec.1 dose =2 injections cz inject antibody of Hepatitis A & B together.

Btw, my report on TPHA written 'Negative'. But, some of my frens who did blood test at other place write 'Nonreactive'. Is there any difference? :roll:

I was told by Seberang Jaya Clinic 2 settle everything at private 1st n cotact them after 8 days. Then, I can get my report.

Seberang jaya Clinic told me dat it's ok 2 do at private as long as u get the report or everything done and give 2 government clinics or hospitals to check & sign (or cop) at last. Hope dat will help. :wink:

do we have to go for suntikan Typhoid and TB?

Is there such a thing as suntikan typhoid and TB. Do you mean vaccination?

not sure. it was written inside the INTEC booklet...
so do we have to take the injection?

well, there's vaccination jab for TB.. and that vaccination is called BCG.. i suppose almost everyone if not all would have taken BCG jab in their lifetime... and there's no vaccination for typhoid fever... regarding on do you still nedd BCG jab, consult your doctor... that's the correct channel that you should be asking..

i hav 2 wait 4 another 3 WEEKS 2 get my blood test result....... i haven done my mantoux test yet.... so slow, dunno wheter cn i hav da report in time or nt...... btw, i do my checkup in government clinic... poor service...

If u cant finish in time u can pass up 2 jpa later but not too late coz may affect the payment jpa send 2 u
jpa must confirm everything juz will send money 2 ur cimb account.
Go PATHLAB, very fast to finish. The government doctor accept their report and then use it. But why they let you take in the first place if they cannot finish in time. Did you tell them the due date.

Mine also in government but they say can finish everything in 1 week.

I went on 30th May and i told the nurse i have to go at 3rd july den the "brilliant" nurse so act pandai say "tak sempat la awak pergi buat kat xxxxx"... I think is the lazyness of the nurse... :o

[KA]

HAIZ.....how come the nurse dare to act like that as if she is the Director af the hospital already.A month's time yet they cant finish the report.This really make the public frustrated although they get their salary raised..not worth it :x :x :x :roll:

well, that's a true malaysian.. tau cakap tak tau buat...

[capablanca]

for my case, the nurse actually said very hard to squeeze time for my result because some of the tests got a lot of people waiting to do. But then she check the calendar and said ok. There is some time before the end of this month.

Then, when I meet the medical checkup officer. He said, blood test take from private because it is not fast enough and not complete here. The rest he just ask me to go to what room and i finish everything and get result within one hour. Lastly, he said return in one week for my drug test result.

The irony, the nurse said there were a lot of person waiting in line for medical checkup but I finish mine in just one hour.

[jojyi]

Thank goodness...our melaka melaka hospiatl(government hospital) juz called us to go to the peringgit clinic(government clinic) to do all the test(complete)except urine morphine and within three weeks we can get everything!thank goodness!haha... :wink:

[forEVA]

just sharing something light here: my friend went for a medical checkup early this year before she could go to australia to further her studies, n the doc actually asked her if she was pregnant! 8O well that's up to him to figure that out, isnt it? that's y the gov wants it's scholars to get a medical checkup, right? haha.. anyways, if a doc had asked me this sorta question, i would reply "well that's for me to know, n for u to find out." then give him/her a wink, n a big, broad smile... :wink: :D

I have to fill in three health declaration forms(2 for jpa and 1 for INTEC).So should i prepare three medical reports and three X-ray films?BTW,my sister did her medical check-up in a private clinic and jpa didn't reject her report.so i guess it's not a problem for us to do our medical check-up in private clinics.

No no. One x-ray is enough. Never take more than one. You should hand over all three forms to the doctor. Then the doctor will fill up all the forms with the medical report the hospital produced from the results from all your test. Don;t tell me three forms you wanna do three blood test, three mantoux test also. :D

But for x-ray, make sure it is one only no matter what. Cause x-ray is very harmful.

thanx for the reply.I was planning to ask the doctor to do three reports based on my medical check-up.In other words,ask them to type three copies...So we just hand in the forms and not the medical report?

Actually it goes like this. When you go for a medical checkup, you will see the doctor then he will check you up and write all the things down. The the lab staff will take your blood and urine and then the results will come in the form of a pathlab report. Then the doctor has all these reports in his hand. He will then transfer the data to the forms you have. So you give him three forms he will fill them up sign it and cop it.

[chngyx]

me too gt frustrated when the Semenyih branch Klinik kesihatan pegawai said tat they dun offer blood test there.Damn man! A government hospital dun have blood test?! The pegawai just being very very lazy.So i have to go to another klinik,Klinik Kesihatan Bt 9. Totally diff ,the nurses n pegawai there r so polite n provide good service,explain all the test u'll go thru and make appointment straight away.It takes about 20 days for the final report but the Semenyih branch need 1 months! What the hell!

[evan89]

Any idea?

We just need to pass up our medical checkup form that is given by JPA. All other stuff you can keep unless you fail you medical checkup or abnormalities are spotted. The you gotta bring the x-ray along and anything else the doctor gives you to explain your situation.

The round dot could be anything. Only further testing will be able to determine exactly what it is, assuming it is abnormal.

trust the doc.. if he says its fine, then it is.. i doubt anyone in this forum could confirm with on this actually.. everyone is not the same anatomically.. so there's definitely slight variations to everything.. if you still feel unsure about this, consult a specialist. that's the right way to do it...

i went to the government hospital in my hometown....ask them how long would they take to complete the medical report.

Too much people who wanted medical checkup at the same time. You must not forgot to include those MARA, go to other colleges or even IPTA. They are all required to do the same thing.

[white2020]

I went to the privae clinic for medical checp-up for my Petronas medical check-up.

I have spent RM 362 and the working days counting from the 1st day I went to do the medical check-up until I get the full report, alltogether less than 3 days.

Can JPA scholars go to private Clinics? If can tr up private, JPA dont need so much medical check-up as Petronas' which means u dont need to pay as much as mine.

I even know that I am O positive..for blood test but I know JPA dun need to.

[dpadma]

i did mine in assunta hosp. u can get ur report the same day.go in 8.30 am get ur full report by noon ( if u r nt taking mantoux) if u are taking mantoux test u get back to the hosp 72 hours later fr ur reading n consultation n off u go with ur report. cost me rm 280 ( breakfast provided too)

[white2020]

Assunta is somewhere near Subang Jaya. And yeah,you can get a full medical checkup including other test on the same day. Coz my dad always goes there as he has health problems. But my dad never once got free breakfast though. By the way I like the canteen food and the hospital food very much.

[white2020]

[dpadma]

galfera, i suggest u try calling ur local klinik kesihatan or local gov hosp to ask them whetehr they can finish ur report in time. n then go up personally to ur local gov hosp and ask them again ( u cant confirm over phone ) After tht u can go to private hosp, if gov hosp can't do it in time . i assume u live in est msia? it would be a hassle fr to fly to n fro. nt to mention u have to stay over near to the hosp fr 72 hours to get ur mantoux reading. better start now. so u'll get ur report in time.

well i called jpa too , and the ady said strictly NO private clinic . MUST be gov /Private hosp. but if u can get ur report verified in hosp(if u dint do in hosp) then it would be okay, i guess.

Nope, but when you want to get a job, the employer may require a more complete medical checkup which may include a pap smear or a prostate and testis check(for cancer etc)

Lol...i don't think so...the doctor that did my report just did a very general checkup...altho u may have to remove ur shirt... :oops:
but that's about it really...thank God!! I was petrified by the thought of the doctor checking "there" !!

anyway, I'm surprised that u guys take so long to finish ur report...i took bout' 3 days...i did some of my tests at pathlab and the mantoux at klang hosp. then i took the reports to Kelana Jaya poliklinik and did the remainder tests there. After that i met the physician and she filled my report on the spot....didn't have to wait for weeks like some of u guys...

They just tick normal. Coz don't need to write anything unless it is not normal or they is sum problem with your body.

I know this is a public forum and everyone has a right to sya what they want, but it really irritates me when people say 'that part" "down there" etc. Come on, we are 18 already, we studied all reproduction is school, we are well exposed to sex. We are already in tertiary level yet we still use that part. Please use genitals, penis and vagina next time. There is nothing wrong or shameful about it. It is just another part of our bodies like our mouth ears eyes.

inside the med check up form there r sumthin like genitourinary and reproductive system... i wanna ask sumthin, did the doctor really check "THAT" part of your body?

thankx.

Nope, but when you want to get a job, the employer may require a more complete medical checkup which may include a pap smear or a prostate and testis check(for cancer etc)

so at tat reproductive system there the doctor just tick normal or still got write sumthing?

They just tick normal. Coz don't need to write anything unless it is not normal or they is sum problem with your body.

I know this is a public forum and everyone has a right to sya what they want, but it really irritates me when people say 'that part" "down there" etc. Come on, we are 18 already, we studied all reproduction is school, we are well exposed to sex. We are already in tertiary level yet we still use that part. Please use genitals, penis and vagina next time. There is nothing wrong or shameful about it. It is just another part of our bodies like our mouth ears eyes.

same for both guy and girls? all juz tick normal rite?

Huh? I didn't see that option. Wait, let me recheck first.

[jojyi]

[Kevin89]

I'm a bit blur, why is the dentist but not the doctor do the medical checkup?

[haagendaz]

I'm a bit blur, why is the dentist but not the doctor do the medical checkup?

Coz the dental check up is part of the medical check up.

[sue89]

I'm a bit blur, why is the dentist but not the doctor do the medical checkup?

Coz the dental check up is part of the medical check up.
Is it stated in the medical check-up form?

[mumeichan]

I'm a bit blur, why is the dentist but not the doctor do the medical checkup?

Coz the dental check up is part of the medical check up.

The form has no item for dental checkup. Therefore we do not need to do it.

[mumeichan]

Sangat teruk or not, as long as it is correctable with glasses, it is fine. Even pilots don't require absolute perfect eyesight nowadays. And I do not see any reason why an engineer need very good eyesight without specs.

Did any of you go for the typhoid & TB injection?

Not too sure bout JPA scholars for other colleges but for INTEC scholars, it is stated in page 11 of the INTEC booklet that it is necessary.

According to the doctor, TB vaccination should not be essential as the BCG vaccination which we have received is already adequate.

I was wondering if anyone actually went for the immunisation especially for the typhoid injection because most posts are regarding medical checkup but the TB & typhoid vaccination was not discussed. :wink:

Anyone care to shed some light on this matter? Thank you. :)

i do wear specs actually.. bt i tin there r ppl who eyesight even worse than me, as i'm stil cn read, write n do anytin i wan without wearing specs, n of coz i din wear specs 4 most of da time... as i tin back da check up tat day, i felt reli nt happy... da nurse there look like nt serious in doing their job... when she measure my height, she edi got da measurement b4 i stand straight, n i bcome 'shorter'... when she check 4 my eyesight, she jz simply ask me stand there without fix a distance frm tat tin.. if i move forward a lil bit, perhaps i cn c clearer, n i dun tin she'll notice tat... it's reli annoying when seeing them carry up their job, as though they r nt wiling 2 do tat... jz afraid i'll fail any of da test bcoz of their 'carelessness n unseriousness'...

So has anyone received the above mentioned vaccinations? Kindly provide some feedback, please. Appreciate it. :wink:

Just to add, if you have colour-blind, then there are certian fields of study which you can't take esp engineering. As to eyesight prob, I don't think is it a major problem. Good luck to your scholarship ya

The only TB vaccination so far is BCG. Unless a new type of TB vaccine was created just recently. So I have been vaccinated against TB already and so have all of you. There is alot of research done to find a better vaccine for TB but so far none has been trully successful and marketed. There are also a drug which has been created to boost the BCG but it has not been marketed yet.

I have not been vaccinated against typhoid yet.

The tb vaccination is took from weaker one of the two tb virus existed. For thypoid, the cases in this country are slight. Only if you go to countries which has a record than it is dangerous.

Have you ever read the story of Typhoid Mary. Now, that is someone you should beware of.

Right for countries like us who have gas stoves and a good water treatment, typhoid is not a big problem. If you're off to India(I do not mean to be degratory in any sense, I'm half indian as well) then you should consider this vaccination as well as flu vaccinations. You may also want to get a booster shot for Hepatitis A,B, and C and tetanus as our immunity level drops as time goes by.

But, TB is a bacteria and actually they use the bacteria which is specially cultured so that is weakened and pose no risk of causing us to develop the TB disease but still active enough to cause our white blood cells to produce antibodies.
