What medical illnesses/conditions would prevent one from working in pharmaceuticals manufacturing?
Q. Hi all. What medical illnesses/conditions/infe ctions would prevent a person from working in a pharmaceuticals manufacturing environment? I am asking because a relative has been offered a job in a pharmaceuticals manufacturing environment, but require some kind of medical clearance before he can commence. He most likely have one or two STI from his sexual relationships. Is that likely to show up in a medical clearance / affect his chances of getting the job?

A. Most STIs are essentially bloodborn pathogens, and present in the sexual mucosa. They aren't communicable by saliva, droplets, breath or casual contact. Of the main STDs, HIV is the most worrisome as it's chronic and relatively deadly. I can see there being some worry over that one, but in an environment like pharmaceutical manufacturing any blood contact is going to be treated with deadly seriousness, regardless of HIV. If it's a bacterial STI - Chlamydia, gonnorhea, or syphilis again, not a big deal. They can be treated and are rather difficult to spread. He might be asked to stay home for a week for the antibiotics to kick in. The one that really comes to mind is tuberculosis. TB is spread by casual contact, aerosol droplets and saliva. [cont.]

If one is yours (say through an employer) and the other is your spouses (through her employer) then yours is primary for you and hers will be secondary.

How do I get medical coupons, if I have medical insurance?
Q. I know the question sounds stupid but, my husband and I just found out that we are having a baby in January. I have medical insurance, which does cover maternal care, with the exception of copay, and deductibles, all that good stuff. Although we have been trying for out lil miracle, it has been so long, that it surprised us when the test came out positive. My husband had some employment struggles and he is in the process of finding full-time employment. Which means for us that we are going to have a lot of medical bills that will be difficult to pay. My original question is can I get medical coupons if I am not making enough to support everything? Even though I have insurance?

A. Check with your Department of Health. You may be eligible for Medicaid--to cover the rest of your expenses. You may also be eligible for WIC to help with food for you and the baby. My husband and I struggled through the hospital bills with our first, just to find out we probably could have gotten some sort of assistance. Your hospital probably has payment options, as well.

This basically trains you to clean bed-pans, but it's a start. At least you'll get into a medical environment. Then, depending on your eventual goal, you can either get a nursing degree or go to medical school.

There is also a 2-year program that is somewhat similar to this but with less responsibilities and less pay, which would be clinical laboratory technician I believe. The general category of what you are interested is clinical laboratory science, and you will find the kind of program that you are looking for at an allied health school. I think what it's called is Clinical Laboratory Technician. I've seen it abbreviated CLT/MT also. has a search feature to look for schools that offer the program that you want.

How does the medical community feel about male nurses, and what are the education requirements for an RN?
Q. I am considering changing careers and have seriously begun to think about nursing. Are male nurses respected in the medical community? Also I already have a Bachelors degree in an unrelated field (non-medical), so would two years of schooling be sufficient to become an RN or would it require another four years. It would seem silly to have two Bachelors degrees. Thank You.

To be honest, most of us (in fact everyone I know) doesn't think about male nurses any different from female (if they even think about it at all) and I know Jill (top contributor) will weigh in the same. This isn't the 1950's anymore. To get a RN; you have 2 options: get an AA associates RN (2 years) or try & find an accelerated bridge BSRN that is for people with a bachelirs in something else (then it is just the 2 years core nursing program). HOWEVER< both will require you have certain pre-reqs which you may or may not have (such as anatomy & physiology) so that would need to be taken as well. As would any science cores more than about 5 years old.

What is the medical exam and questions for life insurance like?
Q. We are looking into life insurance. I am wondering what the medical exam and questions are like? How much more typically is it if you have a medical issue (like high blood pressure) compared to if you have good health? We are in our late 20's. I forgot to add, do they only ask your current health for the last 6 months to a year? Or is it your whole health history? I ask because let's say the high blood pressure has been normal for the last 6 months to a year... will they still consider this in their pricing?

A. Most life insurance companies will ask about your entire health history. (i.e. have you ever had surgery and if so why? etc. etc.) Additionally most life insurance companies will check your health records to make sure there are not any glaring problems. The medical exam depends on the coverage amount. If you're in your late 20s and high blood pressure is the only issue you have, they will most likely take a blood and urine sample along with checking your blood pressure. If high blood pressure is the only problem you have, it should not be grounds for denial. However it can cause you to get a higher rating.

Is there a medical way to determine a rough estimate for one to reach menopause?
Q. Is there a specific type of doctors or medical tests performed that can find this information out? Are there medical tests also to determine if one is and will be physically able to deliver a baby?

A. There are a few blood tests that give an indication; most women reach the menopause at a similar age to when their mother did. I'm not sure there's much point to tests though, unless you've been trying for a baby for a long time without success. If you're worried about fertility, see a doctor.

How can the Philippines improve medical services when all the medical practitioners are leaving the country?
Q. We all know that there are so many medical practitioners especially nurses who are working abroad. The demand for health care providers in other countries became the apple of the eyes of those in the medical field. Even doctors in the country prefer to practice their expertise abroad or take up nursing for them to be able to work in other countries like the US or somewhere in Europe. But with this, is there any hope for the Philippines to improve its health services when it is currently experiencing brain drain?

A. Dear Tootdee, Your question speaks of two things; your concern for the country and at the same time saying that the medical healthcare is stagnant to say the least. While it's true that Filipino doctors are going out of the country to get better pay it does not necessarily follow that medical healthcare is stagnant. As a matter of fact, advanced medical equipments and big hospitals are opening up. Hospitals which have the amenities of the big hotels are the trend nowadays, concrete examples are Asian Medical Center and the new St. Luke's Medical Center which is undergoing construction at the Fort, the newly developed sprawling business area in Greater Manila Area. So, Medical Healthcare is improving! However, your concern is valid in… [cont.]

What medical conditions could prevent you from enlisting in the army?
Q. If I had my diploma, and parental consent, could I enlist in the army if I was just diagnosed as Clinically Depressed? What other medical conditions could prevent me from enlisting? no, im not blind. but what if im on anti-depressants? what that hold me back?

A. It might hold you back, take a look at this link for disqualifying medical conditions: Keep in mind that there are medical waivers for a lot of these dq's. Since you want to enlist in the Army I'd have to say that you have a higher chance of being granted a waiver for that branch then if it were another. I wish you luck and hope that you are able to get in. Thank you for wanting to serve our country!
