hi, like me, i had minor surgery months ago for kidney stone removal, however there is still 1 more stone attach to my kidney, now im under medication,just taking the himalayan cyston and monthly got appointment with my specialist. i didnt go further for another operation as the cost is exceed my company insurance budget,so now i just take this cyston hoping the stone can get out through urine.now my question is, doctor said she put me as fit to work but she put notes that i am under treatment for this kidney stone. is there any possibility,the company will change their mind and reject me?although i already receive the offer letter and already sign it and send it back to hr.hope someone can answer this as i getting anxious and worry if i might suddenly got rejected,i already under 1month notice for my present company.

I work for a hr department. The medical tests are subject to the type of job you are involved with. For example, if you are in F&B industry, the tests will include more like stool tests and typhoid injection cos you deal with food products. If only office job, typically test includes blood pressure, cholesterol, blood tests, eye sight and other simple ones. Normally all the tests will be written in the medical letter your company will give to pass to the relevant clinic. If it's not you can ask them cos you have the right to know, it's your body anyway.

High cholestrol, bp, alcoholism, obesity, poor lung function because of smoking is a BIG NO NO. Small tip from what i heard in hr departments is that in the case they know you have high cholestrol or overweight, they will ask you to exercise or go on some good health programmes to resolve the issue before reapplying or taking up the offer IF they really want you.

Medical check up also involves dr asking your family's history of diseases and your exercise habits. In the end of the day, doesn't matter you are active in sports or what, what is important is what the test results tell the doctor whether to deem you as fit or unfit for the job.

Medical test results usually takes a week for the clinic to send to the company provided that it is a good and reputable workplace.

I mentioned some of the illnesses that companies reject on the above already but just to add: HIV is also a no in malaysia unless it is a truly mat salleh company that has clear policies on discrimination. Most companies in Malaysia don't accept. They won't tell that it's cos of the HIV status but they might just say other reasons.

Dont worry based on your description i dont think you will be rejected

For me i use to have kidney stone removal operation, and still have 1 more stone attach to my kidney. i declare to my doctor as under treatment.is there any possibility that i might get rejected although i already sign my offer letter?plus, i just realised on my application form, there is question ask, have you been or are suffering from any illness? i put no, as that time i didnt think bout my kidney stone as its not serious to me. will it affect me? im really worry now as i already under 1month notice for my present company,i worry if suddenly company want to reject me.hm
