[JackChin]

I went to medical checkup yesterday....
But,i fail my colour test!!!!!!!!
My friends are normal,but im ABNORMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That means i cannot figure out the number that hide in the mixture of many colours.....
I wana ask whether this will affect my medical course?Will jpa take back the scholarship??????

Thread moved to the JPA section

and do use a more neutral sounding title. Making it sound too sensational just irritates people

So sorry to hear.. I don't think anyone really knows for sure..
The best thing to do is to give JPA a call to find out.
Hope it all goes well.

Are you sure you did the test correctly. Try ask your mom to show you a green and red item and a blue and yellow item and see if you can differentiate them. There is no way you would not have noticed you are colour blind by this age.

Erm... i got a friend who also only knew that he is colour blind after doing the colour blind test in the school. After the test, he was yelling around like a mad dog. He keep saying, "How can i have colour blind !!!!!!! :evil: " As his freind, we did what you said, showing him things with different colours and yet he can differentiate them. He said, "This is blue ma, this is red ma, is IMPOSSIBLE that i have colour blind !! :evil: "

Actually, the green or red colour that those people (with colour blind) saw are different from us, e.g. maybe the green that they saw is actually blue or whatever. So when multiple tones of green and red was put together, they can't differentiate it.

P/S: I heard from my friend said there is a kind of test where only those with colour blind can see the number but normal people can't 8O .

[windhoe2]

it is really big hurdle to medical students to have colour blind, u better check with JPA.

you might see the wrong label for medicine next time.

[Vint]

The colour test is a bit confusing too...some of the "3" looks like "8"
but most of us already did tat when taking the undang test rite...

i came to the last part of the test,and there is no number there,and i'm a bit shock how come i cannot see any number,haha then the assistant told me tat i'm done already..haha

I heard that some countries accept students with this kinda deficiency but some do not. Which country did you get? You got medic right? Where are you going to your pre-U before going overseas? It depends on the college you get too, see if they wanna accept or not...anyway, I think everything will be fine since you've already secured the scholarship. By the way, all the best to you!!! :)

[capablanca]

If you are colour blind, can you even differentiate syntoms of the patients which has to do with colours?

i understand your concern.. cos i am one of those who are slightly colour blind... go to an eye specialist and request for another colour test.. see what has the doctor has to say.. if its minor thing, ask the doc to write a letter stating that you condition is minor and it does not affect your studies in med..

regarding the hep b thingy.. the dean in IMU has also said this.. most overseas unis would not want the students to have hep B to go to their uni to study.. except for one or 2.. some unis would accept hep B carriers though.. forgot which one....

The uni are scared that they will spread hep B around when they eat. But only those who are not vaccined are at risk, right?

yes... and especially as med students, the unis are more afraid that u might spread it to their patients.. so better get vaccinated if you're not or your hep b test is not showing good signs..

Colour blindness isn't always picked up from daily lives. People with colour blindness still see colour, it's just that they can't really differentiate between certain confusing colours. Most people aren't confronted with such confusing colours in daily life, so it doesn't get picked up easily.

You can read up more about colour blindness here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness#Diagnosis
http://www.toledo-bend.com/colorblind/Ishihara.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishihara_color_test

The ishihara colour test is commonly used to diagnose the most common form of colour blindness. Most doctors should have a copy of that test, where there are a lot of dot-filled plates from which you are required to read a number. The sites above give you some examples for ishihara colour tests, but for the most accurate result it's better to do it on the real paper version.

As far as I know, colour blindedness is not an impediment in studying medicine. Many of my coursemates are colour blind as well. It is only important for certain occupations, for example designers (but not always), and if I'm not mistaken, pilots.

Thanks youngyew for giving a good explaination and useful links for us.

of course you have to test for colour blindness in JPJ test.. but for JPA's medical checkup, it was not stated in the borang that you need to do that.. so sometimes, the doctor might just want to know if you do have any problems with your colour differentiation... besides pilot, students having colour differentiation problem are discouraged not to take up certain engineering courses like electrical enad electronic..

oh really??? my mistake then.. mine didnt have to do that last time... but still, if the doc found there's something wrong with you but its not gonna affect your studies overseas, ask them to write a letter to say that you have such problem but it will not affect your studies in anyway.. that should be ok..

Mine goes very fast. Flip some pages of a book. Recognise the numbers. All ok. Perfect vision.

[jingguo]

well of course that's if you're fine in vision.. but for those who are really having this problem, they just can't flip the few pages and get a perfect vision out of it... you might as well find out the right reason on why you;re having such problem.. if you do have of course...

[white2020]

haha, the whole colourblind test that i have undergone ..not even 1 minute i think...

anyway, Thanks GOD :wink:

[chenjun1128]

I think color blind is not so serious..but ME, I got positive mantoux test! I checked the forum on mantoux and found out that it could be due to the fact that I had BCG injection in standard 6..So, anyone got positive? If so, will JPA accept students with positive mantoux test??

[castle]

im red green colour blind....people always thought i was kidding before!sshheeeesh...the medical checkup confirmed my case.

[vimal06]

Mine appeared all ok.. I just completed the whole ordeal a few days back..

[Caprio]

Just want to make a survey here, how much do you pay for your medical check up?

So far the cheapest I found is RM80.

:)) Mantoux test will be done after two years before you go aboard. It is done to everyone who wish to visit other countries and stay there for quite a long period of time there or probably also to those who have stayed in other countries for quite a long time which want to return to Malaysia. :amuse
Knew it from the nurses in Manjung Hospital yesterday.

I have no idea about your case and your local hospital there. But for me, the results for blood test and urine test will reach us after a week after getting specimen from you. :P

[cuteranger]

i did in a private hospital and is cost RM400++
dun remember exact value :laugh
damn expensive

[senksiang90]

i did in a private hospital and is cost RM400++

i did in state-owned private hospital.. but for petronas lah.. cost RM 177.00. It is called Normah Specialist Centre in Kuching.

You must be damn rich then. RM400++ is a huge sum!

[tanyijing2007]

I have done mine in a government hospital in Manjung (actually there is only one there) and it charges me RM 165.00 for the check-up.

hey i'm goin nx week!! kinteo ah... mind telling me what they do?? what are the procedures and stuff....
was dr khiew der??
how long did the whole procedure take??

[tanyijing2007]

so how many days you have to wait for the result?

Seven days. I had given all the specimens required on this Wednesday and was requested to acquire the results on next Wednesday. Because I am not living in Sitiawan or Manjung, the nurses there refuse to do the other check-ups or measurements such as weight or height with me, they ask me to do in my hometown. So, I will be having my results next Wed and before this, making an appointment with the doctor here, who I will be meeting on next Thursday or Friday to do the follow-up checkups. :nod

hey i'm goin nx week!! kinteo ah... mind telling me what they do?? what are the procedures and stuff....

It will take about a week time if you will be doing it in a government hospital. :P

[n1dh0g]

Haha I think that a week is actually quite fast because I had a friend who went to General Hosp in KL and they were saying that they were quite fully booked so the test results could only come out on the 29th of this month. In the end she just went to a private hosp to do it.

Anyways I went to a private hosp, Assunta to do it. It costs around RM256.

[music_freak28]

I did mine already at HKL.Now waiting for results and still need to see the doctor and take my Mantouks jab. They offer pretty good service there. But have to pay a small fee of RM175

Btw, just being curious, what is a Mantouks jab?

it's mentoux right, not mantouks.its done by injecting this solution jz beneath ur skin.its to detect whether uve T.B.if takes around 3 days to show its result.if u get red n swollen skin, then ure positive with T.B.if theres nthg,as in normal then ure safe=negative.

btw, anyone here has 0 antibody for hepatitis B although they've received vaccination last time?i hav to undergo 3 doses of vaccination til the end of this year.

[dya_me]

yea, it is necessary...hepatitis B is dangerous...i already got da vaccination when i was a baby...but my medical check up result, i'm not immune 2 hepatitis B at all!!:cry

me...its shocking!

[unsleepable]

owh yeah?gee...sounds awful..hmm..btw,i'm waiting for the hepatitis B result now..woowoo..but i've passed the montoux test with success!!yay!..heh..but i hav far more detrimental problem,my x-ray film shows tht my spine is slightly rotated..hmm..i hope it would be okay..

[unsleepable]

haha..who is jay chow btw?heh..sory..i'm not into it..
so..is it dangerous?hmm..i'm afraid tht i wont past the mdcl exam!

[nigelsim]

i had a veri interesting experience when i went for medical checkup last yr... i end up arguing with de ppl as at TB centre... hahaha...

i did my medical checkup at a private clinic and my doctor refered me to this TB centre for de montox test (i think) and he gave me a reference letter...

when i reach de place... de person at de counter ask for my x ray film which i did not bring along... i went back to take de film and returned to de clinic... when i reached de clinic de person dun even cared to look at my film or letter and straight away send me to de lab for, AND I QUOTE "suspected TB patient".

i told de person dat i only wanted to do de test for my medical checkup... not because i am suspected with TB... de lab guy said those who r refered here are all suspected TB patient... finally i went to de counter n make some noise and finally they read my doc's letter and perform de test for me... swt =.=

[clep]

I did the Mantoux test 12 days ago (injected, then tested 9 days ago) and now I can still see red spots on my arm where the stuff was injected. During the test the nurse told me I was fine, even with the 6mm measurement.

Reckon anything's wrong with me? :p

[nigelsim]

according to my frens... most of dem did not do de mantoux test... but it's stated as compulsory test in de form... weird

[chiachean]

During my time, i did my mantoux test in a different GH..

[Miracle_seed]

We didn't have to do Mantoux test two years ago (not stated in medical checkup form), it seems they introduced this last year...

[nigelsim]

according to my doc... as long as yr x ray is okay... der is no need for us to do de mantoux test... but since its stated... we have to do it anyway...

[unsleepable]

to clep:
is it a flaming red or just a mild one?if it is mild,its okey.and it shouldn't swollen.
yeah,mind too is still in mild red(but it's almost gone today).no swollen(sweat?).
btw,hav u brush tht part while taking ur bath or putting some lotion on it?hmm..
as for me,evn after i've checked the result,i dont touch tht spot yet(with soap/lotion).

hmm..6mm is not okay,ryte..maybe u're mistaken 6 for 0?

source:my dad was a medical practitioner .

to nigelsim:
r u sure?my x-ray result is not okay,but i passed my montoux test with success~hehe..

[nigelsim]

i mean if yr x ray of yr lungs appear to be ok... u wont have to do de montox test.. otherwise u have to go for it... but dat doesnt mean dat u will fail de test for sure... its just to confirm dat u r free from TB

[duke23]

actually,a mantoux test is not needed at all for malaysian students..Most malaysians have had their BCG vaccinations so a positive reaction to the mantoux is ABSOLUTELY NORMAL.Somebody should point this out to JPA..

IM SURPRISED..no medical practitioner has told the millions of jpa scholars who have gotten this test done abt the probablity of getting a false +ve results if they had a bcg vaccination in the past..

r u sure that 6mm is not ok? The nurse told me it is perfectly normal.and they dun oni look at the diameter of the rash but also our blood test and the x-ray result, to determine whether we have TB.

nurse pun tak boleh pakai..doktor lagi teruk

firstly they have to check for ur BCG jab scars..itulah cara betul..

[unsleepable]

owh..in tht case,everything should be okay clem..dont worry much lorh..

duke,u dont have to 'head-shot' people lah..complaining just makes u sounds annoying.

FYI,i've completed my medical exam this evening..everything's is find..including the hepatitis B test and my rotated spine..

clep,how much they charged u for the medical check up?and which hospital did u go?

[vaanbalthier]

i did my test in the GH. need to pay rm80.....anyone else who did at GH paid for ur ME???

[Han1219]

I paid RM 175,in government hospital but have to wait for 1 month for my HIV etc etc blood test,did anybody same as me?:notrust

[chen622]

One of my medical checkup form went missing in Klinik Kesihatan due to their clumsiness. Felt like wanna slap the nurse's face when she said, "tak pe lah.. pergi fotostat la.. " in a frustrated tone :rant

Luckily JPA told me one of the form will be kept with me as reference, so i will hand in the original one and keep the photostated copy. :knk

[unsleepable]

1 month is long..mind is only 2 weeks..actually your blood has already been 'process', they cant take so much time to do it..bt since tht the hospital 'dah x cukup tangan' in handling patients,they hav to fidn suitable time to mke such appointment..

WHAT???hilang???that is unacceptable!wonder how can she passed the nursing course..

[Miracle_seed]

[unsleepable]

so miracle,r u under JPA?n does the test is as fussy as the ME for the pre-U(a-lvl,ausmat etc.)?i mean,is there any mantoux test,blood test again?

[Han1219]

Ya, one month really take too long but wat can i do?

Hey guys, i just got my medical report and its written there 16mm for my mantoux test. I got the BCG vaccination before. Is this still considered as positive result for tuberculosis?

Im quite worried because many of my friends who also got their BCG vaccination before have measurements like 8mm, 6mm etc. None of them get higher than 10mm like me :cry

and my doctor said he doesnt know whats the NAD in the urine test so he left it blank. Is it okay?

plz help me with this! thanks alot!

1. Your doctor is stupid. Shouldn't have administered a mantoux test in the first place and doesn't know what a NAD test is.

2. Mantoux test only show whether you had exposure to TB or not. Of course you had since you have had BCG before. You'll only know you have TB after you have taken a spitum test which check for active TB virus in your saliva.

1. So is it a problem if it is left blank? Do I need to redo the test for the NAD only? :(

2. Erm my doctor din ask me to take the spitum test. If I straight away show this result to jpa, are they going to do anything with it?

thanks anyway :)

As long as your doc signs the back of the form saying you are medically fit it should be ok.

If you are not satisfied, I suggest you see another doctor and talk to him and ask him to explain clearly what all the test are for. You are paying consultation fees so you have every right to know how the test are performed and the results obtained. Don't even let any medical practitioner intimidate you.

In the LAPORAN PEMERIKSAAN KESIHATAN, it's stated that we need to attach chest X-Ray and report(large film).
So, we need to bring the LARGE X-ray film there?
What's the point?
The doctor has proved that I'm normal.

[vaanbalthier]

they're gonna keep it for future reference. it's normal for them to do that

[ktt_noob]

wow...i just realised the nurse didnt help me do the Mantoux test. They just put a dash. is it OK?

[ainin]

Wow, a lot of people hv questions regaring the mentoux test. Anyone hv problems with the urine test? My problem is that at the medical form there, the nurse only filled in the glucose part and drugs part for me. The others she din even write anything. Not even a '-'. Is tat ok? A lot of people assured me tat it is ok but still i'm a bit worried........

[yanni]

(INTI)
do we needa bring to x ray film along with the med check up report on our registration day?

[chen]

Mantoux test is kinda expensive and wasting, that's why most hospital won't conduct the test unless you personally ask for it..
They seems to be ignoring that column in your medical check up form..

You don't really need to bring the X-ray..
The result of the X-ray is shown on your checkup form(normal/abnormal/etc..)

[whui]

Mantoux test is unnecessary as I've asked my aunt who had worked as a nurse in government hospitals before this. A doctor can determine the symptoms of TB by looking at our X-rays result. Its necessary only if you're going overseas.

I did my mantoux test in GH alor star. it cost me rm5. but according to them, one vial of medication is rm60 and it can be used for 10 ppl. so, they gathered students who wanted to do their mantoux test on a specific day and gave the jabs.i think if u do it privately you would have to pay rm60..
