The Dr told me I should get it looked at. but nothing beyond that was said.

Well, if you are "one in a million", it means there are almost 7000 of you.

No.

You might want to review the guidance to Panel Physicians on the CDC web site if medical issues are of concern to you.

Ok, the applicable page appears to be this one: http://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeeh...al-mental.html

Since his impairment is mild, he does not need extensive medical care, and it does not cause him to be unable to do anything but drive and get up to make his own tea

he should be perfectly all right.

Thanks!

(just kidding honey, you make great tea

Re: Medical question

Just an update... my husband went to the medical exam today. He didn't get far on the eye exam for his right eye, but he had brought his records from his eye doctor back home. The London doctor made a copy of them, but it did not appear to be an issue; my husband said they told him they would be sending the file to the embassy, so I assume all was well.
