We had our x-rays/meds yesterday in Saltdean, Brighton. The medical, was a lot more thorough than we were expecting, reminded me of my Army National Service medical. Dr Adams, was very friendly & professional (apart from spilling my urine sample over jenny's handbag!) & he ticked Box A for all of us.

Another hurdle out of the way.

were not that far yet

what do they do in the medical??? as a smoker i lil bit worried lol

good luck

They take blood & urine samples, check eyes & eyesight, heart, chest, joints, gonads!, weight etc & ask loads of questions about your previous medical history plus take a chest x-ray. They ask if you smoke. I think that they are looking for serious conditions like TB or HIV/Aids & the majority of people would pass it with ease.

thanks for that

not lot to be worried about then really. may give up smoking soon anyway but other than that seems pretty much what i had to do for a works pension...just piising on the spot is the hardest lol

Laverda, its alright you saying you will give up the fags. Doing it is anightmare.
I smoked 20/30 a day for at least 24 years, just loved my fags, couldnt go 10 minutes without one.

Puffed my last fag on 21/08/2003. bloody nightmare packing up, I was climbing the walls. My GP nagged me about packing up so I did, Sadly went from 9 stone to 10 and1/2 . Now she nags me about being overweight.

Give me a ciggie any day.

laverda

so do you now smoke again???

ill only give up when i am ready....have to admit generlly only smoking as at work it gives me 5 mins to wander off and also gives me something to do..as for gp's...they will never be satisfied....

I heard that one from my Uncle who nearly died of a heart attack. After that he said he was ready.
