Medical Details at Hinduja
May 29th, 2003 – Medical at Hinduja Hospital
Arrived early morning at 6:45am in front of the Hinduja Hospital. There are two buildings, go to the one across the street where it’s written ‘MRI Centre’. We went to the wrong building asked the guard in front for ‘US Immigration’, he told us to go to the other building.
We went inside waited in line for the staff to arrive. Staff came in exactly at 7:00am and started preparing their desk at the reception counter.
Note: There are four receptions counter in the lobby area; you can wait/stand at any line. The Lady at the reception gave ‘Health Check’ Registration Form. Fill up the form with basic information of Name, Age etc. Submit the form with Rs.1700/- Fee per person to the reception. She gave us set of papers to carry for me and my wife and the Pay slips.
Note: Do not loose the pay slip. She asked us to go to the 3rd Floor Wing 4th to the nurse.
Took the elevator, which stops at every floor (Hospital). Came on 3rd Floor, turn left to go inside Wing 4. Please go inside the Wing 4 and we waited for nurse as there were people coming in after making the payment from the reception. A Nurse came out of the room, show her your papers or show the papers to the first available nurse in the corridor.
She asked us the Interview Appointment Letter, 2 Passport Size photos (she asked us to sign back of the photograph), Original Passports for both of us (She matched the signatures on the back of photo with the ones in the passports), Xerox Copy of the First Page of your Passport. She took the sets of papers for me and my wife gave us back the pay slip. She asked us to come to an office.
In the office, there was another nurse who was going through our papers. The First nurse asked us for vaccination records. We did not have any vaccination records; she gave us MMR Vaccinations to each of us.
Note: She told to my wife ‘Not to get pregnant for another three months’ as this vaccination will have adverse effect on the child.
We were told to wait in the TV room till our names are called. After 10 mins, another nurse came in and called us for Basic Examinations (Height, Weight and Blood Pressure). Asked us to go back and wait in TV Room.
Note: At this point we were number two in the whole line for medicals. So it’s good to come in to the hospital earlier in the morning.
After 10mins, we were called for Blood Examination. They took our blood and again told us to wait in TV Room.
After 15mins, we were called for X-Rays in the first group of 8-10 people. We were taken to the next building through the Sky Pass (across the bridge) to Second Floor. Each one of us was called for X-rays. I was asked to take out my gold chain for the X-Ray.
Note: Please take out your chains and put it in your pocket before going to X-Ray.
After the X-rays were done for the whole group we were taken back to the first building across the Sky Pass to Third Floor. Nurse had already told us everything is done and to come back at 1:30 pm in afternoon for medical examination by Doctor. We were supposed to wait there till called for breakfast. Most of the people from the first group left and we decided to leave too. We went back home and had rest to come back at 1:30pm.
We came back to Hinduja at 1:30pm in afternoon onto the First Floor. Please sit down in the lobby area till your names are called. We waited till 2:40pm and our names were called.
My wife went in first to meet the doctor (Dr.Dastur). After around 5 mins, I was called to see the doctor. I went in, the nurse inside did my Eye Examination. Then sat in front of the Doctor. Dr. Dastur was very cool and asked me what I did. So I told him I was engineer. Had a little chat with him and did some basic medical examination. He asked me if I ever had ‘TB’ and I said ‘no’. That was it. I asked him if everything was ok and he gave me a Thumbs Up. I was satisfied.
We were asked to wait again in the lobby. After 15 mins, our names were called again. I went in, nurse asked me for our passports, pay slip and appointment letter. She matched our names and gave us our Medical Report with X-Rays. The whole Medical Reports will be given in an Large Carry Bag printed Hinduja Medical Report something like that.
So Medical was very smooth and professionally handled. All the staff people were very nice especially the nurses to talk to.
Thanks for everyone.
