Hi there,
I am a student on my way to study in singapore. Prior to entering Singapore I went to the Hospital two days ago to do a chest x-ray. This is needed in order for me to get the socalled Student pass when enrolling at the university there.
Now I was really surprised when I was diagnosed with active Tuberculosis. I dont feel sick nor do I have any of the usual fatigue/non-appetite symptoms. I have now started to eat medicine (11 tabs per day, great!!. I have to eat those for the next 6 months!) and the TB will become non contagious already within the next 14 days.
Now my dilemma is that I have to go into Singapore in about 9 days though, in order to be able to register at the university timely. Thus, if I wait longer than that I wont be able to register with the uni in time, and I am afraid they wont admit me to their courses.
If that happens, then I have wasted the last years planning of this years exchange study. I will be very sad and angry if that happens, but do now without a doubt understand that shit does happen....
So, now I want from you opinons on how to cope with this so that I will be able to be register and stay in Singapore for the next year. Also I would like to know what is the general attitude towards TB in Sin, do you just turn people back or whats the general immmigrational policy?
Also, if you feel like flaming me. Do so, cuz then I will know about the general attitude there.
Thank you.
