@kagezen: thanks, I'll google some blogs, good idea, thanks!
@eggward: the same happened to me. They requested a 'cardiologist evaluation'. So I went back to my aircrew medical doctor, asking what kind of new examination do I need. And he suggested me to do an 'echocardiogram' and a 'treadmill stress test' with a cardiologist. So I visited a cardiologist doctor this Monday, he checked my previous ECG, and we made an appointment for Tuesday morning for echo and stress test. These two tests took appr. 45 mins-1 hour together. After my cardiologist checked my results, and said, all my results are normal and good. So he is going to give me a positive opinion that my hearth is strong and healthy. I sent my results to Doha right on Tuesday, and my contact confirmed it the same day, that she received it. She wrote, she'll get back to me as soon as she gets any answer from the medical department. So, Im waiting now.
Dont worry, Im sure it is just gonna be fine.
Try to do the tests ASAP! I keep my fingers crossed for you! 
@stewgirl: no worries, almost everyone had to repeat 1 or more medicals. Just go back to your doctor and make an other CBC. Good luck!!!

In my country if you need your passport urgently, then it takes 5 days but in normal cases can take 2 weeks up to forever. 
My bro told me the same they might be only a bit curious how rates are changing in your CBC. I have 2 ideas ... why do I have to redo the test..First, because some words were not translated to English accidently, second, they want to see the rates again...I just cant accept the explanation that they were too high or low. They are normal rates. Im a healthy person

Hi guys, my FI was in October 2009 and till today I had to repeat CBC three times, because my eritrocita volumen (MHC) was below the normal range, then I've done also Electrophoresis hemoglobina test as my doctor recommended to do it and now I'm waiting what doctors in Doha will tell this time. You need just lots of patience before medical clearance and lots of patience before any answer too, cause it might that they are very busy at the moment.
I would like also to encourage all of you as a former cabin crew and I would like to point out that the job as a cabin crew is one the best jobs that excists, so just go ahead and hope to meet each other once in Doha, best wishes to everyone!!!

Good luck with it and fingers crossed for you, hope this time CBC rates will be normal! Anyway, I am flying home today to redo the test, Im still excited, hopefully now all the rates will be at the right place
Topgun: Did you discover that one of your rate is low than the normal or Qatar told you?

Yes, it's written on the report, in the same line with the value it can stand L what means low or H for high, so you can immeadiately see if everything is alright or not. I've sent them cause doctors here said that my CBC is fine and I'm able for the job, but in Doha doctors want that just every single value is in normal range limit. Last time it was 78.5 and limit is 83.
My MCH is lover, because I was really low with iron last summer and still I need time to compesate my supply of the iron in the body. I've read it can take more than 6 months....

@flutterby: thanks a lot for the info. I just got an e-mail yesterday from a recruitment supervisor asking if Im able to travel to Doha next Friday (5th February 2010)? She didnt mention anything about my medical clearance, but I think it should be OK if they are asking me about the date of travel. Dont you think?
By the way: do you know guys how fast can they arrange all the official stuff in Doha? I mean, they asked me to travel to Doha next weekend. Can they organise my ticket nad my visa in only 10 days??? And I havent got the offer letter yet. When does it come, do you know????
@recruitment88: I dont know if they are checking it or not. But if the lady you mentioned has I dont know for example 10 years of experience on the field of cabin crew recruitment, or previously has been working as a cabin crew for many years, I think she can be suitable for the job even without any college or university degree/diploma. Thats my opinion. Maybe if you give some references, they'll contact the previous employer, but Im not sure.
Guys who already are in Doha, please help me!!!
Did you get all the vaccination before you left, or did you get it during the training in Doha???? And if you got them in Doha, were they payed by the company or you had to pay for them????

flutterby1987 & AVshrey88 +vaccination
@flutterby: no, Im a girl. And I think there are much more batches for girls than for boys. Yesterday late in the evening I got an other mail saying that I should be prepared to travel on 6th Febr. 2010. So it means next Saturday. Then I think there is a training starting on 8th Febr, right? Im now waiting for the official offer letter, visa & e-ticket. And Im very nervous. 
But also excited. I wrote that I dont have any notice period, I can travel any time. By the way, did you already sent your new passport to Doha?
@AVshrey88: I have a philippino friend, I have just advised him to look at this site. He is also travelling to Doha on 27th March. I think you'll be batchmates.
vaccination: I decided to get all the vaccinations before I leave. Im lucky because I only need the meningococal and the chicken pox, because I have already had all the others in the last 2 years. Plus I also decided to get the vaccination against H1N1. It is not on Qatar's list, but we will travel all around the world, so its maybe more safe to have this one too.

@jake.o : hey jake.o..! I am there on facebook, so please PM me your email id, i'll add you there...
@toefike : Now you have made me realise about the vaccinations...i'll have to find out about that too...! They said in the e-mail that if we need to enquire them about anything, then not to hesitate in asking about it. I guess we should ask them about the vaccinations through e-mail, as in, will they sponsor for the vaccinations when we reach Doha, or do we have to get it done at our own expenses. And do ask your phillipino friend to join pprune, then i'll pm him.

Hey,
I forwarded the rest of my medicals, the new CBC, new comments on my spine X-Ray.. Both comments are from aeromedical doctors based on JAR, so they signed me that I am totally able and fit to fly (I am already a cabin crew in Europe).
I hope at this time everything is gonna be ok, especially that those reports are coming from aeromedical centre stating my good condition..
BTW they are very nice to me, I have answers even on my "thank you" e-mail. I got: you are most welcome. I really appreciate this, I like that they confirm all of my mail even saying hello mails...
