Re: Arriving at your school with a homeland medical

In Response To: Re: Arriving at your school with a homeland medical (Former FT in China)

You have chosen to advise FTs newly arrived in China with homeland medicals to agree to undergo second medicals in China. In contrast, I disagree with said advice. Just the way the cookie crumbles! Leave it at that. End of.........!

No I didn't; this is fallacious stuff which was rampant (not by you) during the evil days of the seedy-six. This is what I said in the post you have just answered-and let me select the excerpt this time ,please

"Unlike you I unequivocally suggest that FT' refuse to undertake any medical outside of China;"
There would therefore not be a second medical in China to argue about- only the Chinese one. I should change that American expression to 'just the way the straw man stumbles' All medicals should be undergone in China, otherwise don't accept the job. The Chinese rely on unassertive Westerners to move the goal posts. You can forge your own medical certificate but you should enlist the aid of somebody like amused poster who did a medical degree. But that would be a very rare case indeed to justify that and hardly worth our consideration.
