The medical form is based on 1970s medicine for Cambodian migrant workers. Any physician can evaluate you with a few questions. Unless you have spent months in African villages lately there is no chance you have filiasis.There is a slight chance you might have TB and yes, syphilis is a STD still spreading in US. Are you bare backing any college girls? By the way nobody says Leprosy any more it is called Hansen’s disease that is a Biblical term considered derogatory. When I got the form in Thailand I was only given the Syph blood test.
You don't need to be tested for it, you just need a signature saying you don't have it. The medical certificate in Thailand required for a driver's license requires the same 5 things, it's 100 baht and takes 2 minutes.
Correct How the Person i saw Had the Authority to sign it i was Shocked But For the Driving thing that eyesight thing was the Big Thing if i Remember Correctly
agreed. But in the States doctors may be more 'picky.' Perhaps there is a 'tropical disease' specialist in Oklahoma City who can give the man a clean bill of health.
