Visa Application: Medical Exam at St. Lukes does not need a schedule

I had to send an email to the US Emabassy Manila. If I need to make an appointment. 

This was my question for them:
I would like to know, how do I get a schedule for my medical exam? Should I wait for a letter from the embassy stating the dates for the Interview and and Medical Exam?

I received a response quickly and was advised to proceed to St. Luke's Extension Clinic on any workday between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. with your valid passport to have the required medical examination. St. Luke's Extension Clinic is located at 1177 J. Bocobo Street, Ermita, Manila. The phone numbers are (632) 521-0020, (632) 521-8647, (632) 523-8258 and (632) 526-4327. 

I am from Cebu, so I flew to Manila and went to St. Lukes at 5:30 in the morning the following day. My interview date is 6 days after my medical exam.

Visa Application Tips (Important Reminders
)
I. Female applicants of child-bearing age cannot undergo medical examination during their menstrual period. Applicants who have their menstrual period should come back one week after the last day of their period.
II. Since Tuberculin Skin Testing requires an observation period of 48-72 hours, applicants 2-14 years old are advised not to come for their medical examination on a Thursday.The clinic is closed on weekends, so the TST cannot be interpreted before it expires.

Applicants are advised return to the clinic at least an hour before the time indicated on the TST return slip, to prevent expiration of TST.
