TCS Medicals

Whoa Has anyone gone through 5 medicals for a company thats not even sending you to iraq for war against terrorism? Tcs and its policies.

Medical 1- March 2008 Wellspring Lab East of Kailash I give them my blood, urine, ECG , sonograph, and let them peep into my mouth to see if I have a cavity, then they test me for EYE and say I am color blind. Okk I didnt know.

Medical 2- 14 Nov 2008 Apollo Clinic East Of Kailash I tried to be smart and tried to suppress the problem of Eye by saying its general medical and includes all the tests. I clear them all including the one for which I was sent for a review. I get a response from TCS that I havent been subjected to color vision test. Now who the hell says that? The Apollo people say its been done and TCS shows a written statement by apollo showing that its not been done. Anyways After a month and frantic emails and 1500rs already spent on travels alone, I am formally asked to appear for another medical.

Medical 3- 5th Jan 09 Piramal Diagnostics Amritsar By this time I have become more smarter and god helped me or so I thought. The basement had a flood and the Color Charts which they use to check color vision were all Paper Meche. Only few of them remained and I was able to read whatever I could. The person cleared me and said you may go. I went back happy. Later next day I get a phone call that I need to appear for another medical coz they doctors there cant even take a test. the call me again to appear in a couple of days They didnt mention why but said something called retinoscopy was to be performed. Yeah now you would cut my eye into two and solve the problem altogether.

Medical 4- 9th Jan 09 Piramal Diagnostics Amritsar Well by now I was very irritated so decided to go and hit the doc if he fails me. As I entered I saw a new stock of color vision charts. Ohh means they are going to grill me again. Anyways I sat to be tested like a monkey in a lab for the nth time. But as he opened the book I was starteled I was able to read each and every number. Turned out either the charts were reprepared by another color blind person or the charts were badly reproduced or pirated. Anyhow by now I was well aware of the sequence of numbers that occur in the color vision charts. I had somehow made him believe that color vision problem in my case is related to myopia and is readily cured by spectacles. I cleared the medical but he was still suspicious so he decided to forward me to another doctor who was eye specialist.

Medical 5- 9th Jan 09 Dr. Parminder Singh EyeClinic Amritsar This was n+1th medical being performed on me and now I could prove this by induction that Medicals are crap. Infosys doesnt perform medicals on the joinees and they still send you to Israel. Back in The clinicI was hoping that general myopia type tests will be conducted. These were done and retinoscopy was performed. Turned out it doesnt need to cut the eye into two. Anyways he said everything was normal when suddenly he realised he still hasnt tested me for color vision. I tried to divert his mind but I couldnt do anything but delay he inevitable. Here it came the special brandnew version of Color vision charts which I dreaded. He took mne to another room with ample sunlight and tried everythin to make me comfortable. then he started the test. He asked me to close one eye. Bye this time the sequence of numbers was already repeated one thousandth time that day. Anyways I closed the eye and blurted out the numbers as they came in sequence. Then he aksed me to keep my other eye closed and speak the numbers again. God I was simply amused by the situation. The person didnt understand I can speak the numbers with both my eyes closed. He didnt have a clue of my problem. Anyways as soon I cleared the medical I set off from the place and went to the goldent temple to pray for the TCS Offer letter. I hope no more medicals will be done on me.
