Medical Doubt

By battlesmith

Hi I am Filipino now working in qatar for 2 months and my visit visa is being processed for medical for transferring. I used to be a heavy smoker and was having doubt about the result. I already had 2 previous medicals for visit visa extension on seperate occasions that say im fit. Is the interpretation for medical different with visit visa and applying for RP? Am I at the risk of getting sent back home if the results came out bad. And also do you have ny tips on passing the medical xray exam like for instance somebody told me to drink tomato paste before medical as it blocks the spots and makes the lungs appear red. Please Help.

There is nothing to be worried , I am a smoker too and i have had no problems. Its basically the TB scars what they are checking in the Xray. Nothing else.

Don't worry, they are looking for TB lesions. Your smoking will look nothing like that.

BROD TRY MO KYA KUMAIN NG MANI PARA TUMALINO ANG PAG IISIP MO KASI SBI NILA ANG MANI IS FOOD FOR THE BRAIN. WHERE DID YOU GET THE IDEA TO DRINK TOMATO PASTE AND THEN YOUR LUNGS WILL TURN TO RED. IF YOUR LUNGS TURN TO RED, PATAY KA NA NUN...

Brother the xray image is black & white...if you drink tomato juice and make red spots on that then for sure you will be sent back. You can take steam inhalation and make few infectious spots disappear but that would be unnecessary as those spots will not fail your xray. It is large spots caused by TB or cancer that will make you fail but you cannot alter them even by drinking red paint!!
