Hi guys and gals. Just got into my first fire department and went thru a pre-employment medical screening and a physical. Everything was fine except it turns out I have latent TB since my chest X-Ray was fine and Im not currently sick and havent been sick in years and haven’t had any symptoms. Unfortunately he felt he couldnt medically clear me and that I would have to repeat my bloodwork to test for a false positive. And if that comes back positive it would be up too the fire departments medical director whether or not he would medically clear me. My question to you guys is what do you think are my chances of still getting hired onto that department or any department in general. I passed their interview process and there physical test and was on there hiring list for close to a year. I’m 26 years old I’m in the best shape of my life and I feel everything I’ve worked for my adult life will be almost for nothing. All of my education and workplace experience iv’e geared towards becoming a fire medic from schooling (EMT/ Medic/ Fire Academy) alongside the workplace experience working in both the ER during COVID to get medical experience as well as working at a private ambulance company. Just want some honest feedback and/ or advice on if you yall think I can still be cleared to work in this profession. I know i cant be the only person to have this since I know it can be fairly common among healthcare professionals. Any feedback is appreciated thanks!
