I need a physical examination performed so I can volunteer for the Peace Corps. I am way behind on when they would like to have all my information back but I can't find a place to get this done. I am from GA and attend school in Dallas, TX. I can't have it done on campus because they don't do physicals. I was told by a P.C. nurse that there were a number of government agencies who would help but I've been turned down by all that I have contacted because I'm not serving in the armed forces, not Native American, not a veteran. Medical schools won't do it because I don't attend their school. Parkland clinic won't because they don't accept adults, one in Irving accepts adults but on a 6 - 8 month waiting list. I'm supposed to leave for two years in April but I am having such a hard time. This is all that stands between me and my dream of serving overseas in the Peace Corps. Does anyone have any idea where I can get this done? Please help! Since I moved from GA, I don't have a doctor here in TX. It's difficult being a student from so far away without a well equipped clinic on campus. But good idea, I'll look for a doctor nearby.... Read More »
