Practical Guidance for Your Pre-Employment Medical Examination

To help ensure a smooth and efficient medical examination, please read and follow these important guidelines:

1. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle Before Your Medical Examination

Several days before your appointment, avoid alcohol, smoking, and unhealthy foods, as these may affect some laboratory test results. Eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, and engage in light exercise to help keep your body in good condition.

2. Postpone Your Medical Examination if You Are Sick

If you have fever, cough, flu-like symptoms, chickenpox, or any contagious illness, it is advisable to postpone your pre-employment medical examination unless you are visiting the clinic for consultation or treatment. This helps ensure accurate results and protects other patients.

3. Do Not Drink Milk to "Clear" Your X-ray

The myth that drinking milk removes dust, smoke, or shadows from a chest X-ray is entirely false.

Drinking milk before your chest X-ray does not improve or clear the X-ray result. In some cases, consuming milk or sugary beverages before laboratory tests may influence certain blood or urine test results, especially if fasting is required.

4. Follow Your Doctor's Advice

If your medical examination reveals any findings that require further evaluation or treatment, carefully follow your doctor's recommendations. Physicians are trained professionals whose priority is your health and safety.

5. Complete Forms Accurately

Provide complete, truthful, and accurate information when filling out medical forms. Doing so helps prevent delays and allows the clinic to process your examination more efficiently.

6. Follow the X-ray Technician's Instructions

During your chest X-ray, carefully follow all instructions, especially when asked to take a deep breath and hold it. Proper cooperation helps produce a clear and accurate X-ray image.

7. Relax Before Your Blood Pressure Is Taken

Before your blood pressure measurement, sit quietly for a few minutes. Avoid rushing, talking excessively, or engaging in strenuous activity immediately beforehand, as these can temporarily increase your blood pressure.

8. Read Posted Instructions

Please read and follow the instructions displayed in each department. They are provided to help guide you through the medical examination process and reduce unnecessary delays.

9. Observe Fasting Requirements When Needed

Fasting is required only for specific laboratory tests such as Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), certain Liver Function Tests, and other examinations requested by your physician. Follow the fasting instructions given to you by the clinic.

10. Provide Urine and Stool Samples at the Clinic

Whenever possible, collect your urine and stool samples at the clinic. This helps minimize contamination, ensures proper specimen handling, and maintains the integrity of the laboratory results.

11. Bring Valid Identification

Please bring a photocopy of your passport. If your passport is unavailable, bring any valid government-issued ID or student ID for students.

13. Be Patient and Follow the Queue

Please observe proper queuing and wait for your turn. Your patience and cooperation help ensure a fair, orderly, and accurate examination process for everyone.

Remember

Your cooperation and honesty during the medical examination help ensure accurate results, protect your health, support smooth and efficient medical process.

Avoid talking to strangers. Only transact with authorized clinic staff/employee
