If you've travelled to these places, were you able to get such a certificate? I'm specially interested in first-hand reports from the USA, because as we know the US medical system is a nightmare, making it almost impossible to get an appointment within 3 days of travel and with HIPAA laws I don't even know if a US doctor will be willing to sign and provide such a certificate.

Were you able to get such a medical certificate and successfully travel to French Polynesia or the Samoas? Please share your story!
