Within a
short time , UPL has accepted my application and has endorsed me on its
principal "Shell". It didn’t took long that they accepted and I was
quickly told via SMS that I should report back to UPL office to get my medical
referral slip for the job.
When i reported in the office a couple of days later., I was surprised to see that the medical clinic I will be having for my medical was "Halcyon". The same clinic that I had a hard time with more than 2 years ago. Basically "Halcyon" medical clinic was a scam to begin with and frankly their medical test only cover the initial test ., any succeeding medical test (or test that needs to be repeated) have to be paid by the patient (seafarer). So as a result Halcyon probably flunks most of its patients to squeeze much money as they can. So for people taking medical exam on halcyon , better gets their wallets prepared for the rip off .

If I recall
correct the problems I had two years ago on halcyon were these.
Urinalysis
Psycho / IQ
exam
ECG
Dental
Dental
Now my main
problem when I face Halcyon medical clinic will be the urinalysis and ECG
(which is expensive) ., which I will counter by already stopped drinking soft
drinks and any other carbonated drinks a few days ago - and drank only water.
For the IQ
test there's no exact remedy for it, just probably take my time in answering
all the question and see how it works ., as for the dental I'm not sure if
there's any problems at all but as far as I recall all dental problems had been
fixed since last March 2017.
Most likely
it will take me at least three days to normally clear a medical exam., with the
assumption that no failed medical test will occur for me. But of Halcyon ., I'd
say probably for a month.
