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.
