Questions one must ask as they consider overseas
service:
Are you able to say "Yes" to
any of these questions or issues? If so, you can expect that our doctors will
need additional information from your personal physician, which may slow the
application process.
Malignancy: If you have been diagnosed with any form of malignancy, we
need a report from
your physician stating:
- The stability of the malignancies.
- What follow up has been done?
- What
further follow up may be needed?
Anti-depressants: If you are on
anti-depressants or have been counseled for depression or anxiety, we need a
report from your physician stating:
- Therapy given.
- Response to therapy.
- Anticipated need for follow up or other
problems.
Therapy/Counseling:
If you are in therapy or counseling, or have been in therapy recently, we need a
report from
your therapist stating:
- Issues dealt with.
- Response to therapy recommended.
- Ability to live in an overseas setting
that may be stressful.
Major surgery: If you have had major surgery within the last
five years, we need a report from
your physician stating:
- How you responded to surgery.
- Subsequent follow up to that surgery.
Chronic (ongoing) illness: We also should be aware of any other chronic medical
problems or conditions that may limit your ability to function
overseas. |
