I am in the hiring process now and have been asked to get a current orthopedic report regarding an arthroscope of my knee from 7 years ago. I am very dismayed that I have read about people being rejected based on old successful procedures. My process was a simple saline flush of my knee, was successful and my knee has never felt stronger. I fully expect a glowing review from the orthopedic but am still worried based on comments in this forum of rejection.
For those of you in kingdom, are you aware of accepted employees who have had orthopedic surgeries in their past? Am I looking at a very likely rejection for this, or will a review showing my knee is great get me through having had a procedure done in my past?
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should have the doctor include in his review to increase my chances?
BTW, my job is in engineering and understand that it should be mostly an office work environment.
thanks,
-Brad

Unfortunately, no one can tell you if you would be accepted or rejected. That decision rests with the Aramco doctor who reviews your records. There are people here who have had previous orthopedic and other types of surgeries and illnesses.
I'd imagine any reference regarding the knee having recovered completely, that you don't need follow up, and no restrictions on activities would be helpful. But that's just a guess.

I am sure everyone is reviewed to their unique situation. It is good to hear that it is not a guaranteed rejection if you have had any sort of orthopedic surgery. I just wanted some sort of feel for people who have had a procedure listed on their medical questionnaire and were passed. Guess I'll hope for the best and find out next week.

Does anyone know if arthritis will cause your medical to be rejected? My husband is beginning the process now but has mild arthritis in his back. He's been getting treatment for the past year for it. Is on Celebrex now. He had a car accident last year that caused his arthritis to flare up pretty bad for awhile but is getting better now. We have been looking forward to this opportunity for many reasons. Now I'm afraid he will be rejected due to the arthritis.

Each persons medical history is reviewed and it will be a decision made by the Aramco doctor doing the review. I'm sorry no one can tell you if it will be a problem. Should you get a negative response, sometimes people can get the dept they will be working with to get an exception.

After passing background, childrens school, and aquiring my visas, today I found out I have been rejected due to medical. Does anyone even know if we can find out why a medical rejection has occured?
They did ask for more information on my knee from an orthopedic doctor and his review was stellar with no restrictions on my knee.
I just cant understand what they were thinking..

o Brad
You sent to me a PM and I have answered it today.
May I say that Vpainter has indeed given you very good advice - hope they will take another look at your results.
Good luck
Carolina

Also, I encoue any one really wanting to work for Aramco to apply again in the future. it really is up to the reviewing doctor and the doctors doing the reviewing change with time. Another doctor may approve you.
Again, if you have a contact person in the dept you are going to be working in, they can ask for an exception if they care to.
For those who are interviewing: try to get contact information on at least one of the people interviewing you. That way you can contact the dept if needed, I'd only use the information when in a dire situation like medical rejection. All general questions and information go through your relocation agent.

I had a knee rebuild (it was a blowout repair, fully off the foot for 4 weeks) in October, 2008 and started work at Aramco Jan, 2009. They wanted a full report from my Dr/delayed us for about a month but that was all.
I'm still here. Limped a bit for 6 months but knee's doing great now. Arthro does not seem to be a reason for rejection - mine was so fresh I had not even finished the physical tharepy.
It was NOT because I have an office job......I don't

One thing I highly encoue is to request your medical history file from your physician prior to filling out your medical questionnaire. This way you can catch any errors before your medical history is pulled and use it as a guide to list all doctors visits, ailments etc. A simple omission may mean you are hiding something, even though you simply forgot about it. This can lead to additional delays or rejection at worst.

This is good to hear. However after a glowing review on my knee I was still medically rejected at the last moment, even had visas secured.
I wonder if there is somethng in my medical report I am unaware of. I am still trying to find out why i was rejected. I don't even have a primary physician to get my medical history from. Can any doctor get me a report?

@brad: Typically, doctors offices usually request the patients medical history before they see a new patient (after you sign off on the HIPPA form). That way they know your background. I would ask the last doctor/specialist you saw. Good luck.

o All,
I had my interview in texas 3 weeks ago, and today I was asked to send the payslips. Reading this thread I am worried about my diabetese (Type 2). I applied to work in the ESL Dept as a teacher. Any one has any idea whether or not diabetese is an inadmissible diseaswe?
Cheers,
Kilted_highlander
