How TRUE is this??
Debs went to Handsworth Medical Centre on Friday arvo.
Spoke with lady, and collected the medical results....
Debs asked " are the results ok? "
Lady replied, yes they must be, if there was a problem we would ask for you to have further tests !
Obviously we havent opened the sealed envelopes, albeit the xrays are viewable.
But how true is what she said ????

Remember though that the Medicals for immigration are very basic and there are lots of things that are not tested for.
A medical for insurance purposes etc would have involved a lot more tests.
Good luck

according to the dimia site if anything shows up that is serious the doctor has to tell you and make you aware (there is even a section that explains that counciling will be provided in the case of certain negative results)

I agree.. but.... I think it also says on the form that you're meant to get counselling prior to being tested for HIV, my doctor didnt even say talk about it.

Debs had a blood in urine sample, was asked for a further test. which she did, and again tested positive for blood ! {trace amount}
They said could be anything from a mild infection to sumat more serious, but no mention since , and no referral by doc??
She has since been to docs and had the "womanly" checkup and we havta wait approx 8 weeks for those tests, but thats a separate issue, could medical ppl in Dimia ask for these results, or has the whole thing been overlooked?

IMO anything that will affect the DIMIA decision should have been sent off together, I'm assuming if your doctor thought it was needed he would have waited for the results.
Theres a whole thread about at the moment about blood in urine, noone seems to have had any problems with it re. the visa or otherwise

There are many threads here regarding what is considered a possible visa rejection type illness / result.
there is also something(which I have no knowledge off) regarding group A and group B results

These are not included in the DIMIA examination.
Just because you pass the medical does not mean you are 100% fit and well. It just shows that you are not suffering from any OBVIOUS illnesses.
Nothing more than that really.
Best wishes

Timber,
We went to that practice for ours and they were very upfront, we needed an extra report on something for Will, and they didnt release the forms until we'd provided it, as they said DIMIA have a habit of losing stuff sent seperately, so I think you can safely say you're ok. I also knew some of the Drs in that practice in a professional capacity and they're a straightforward, down to earth bunch, they'd let you know if there were any queries.
Stop fretting, it'll be fine

We had our meds on friday too and my 11 year old daughter had trace of blood in her urine. They said it could be post 'womans curse' (no she hasnt started yet) or an infection. She hasnt got any symptons of the latter so presume its the first one.
Never before did I ever think I wanted my daughter to start the old curse as young as 11! But by crikey it would put my mind at rest!!!
So we are now hoping that everything is going to be OK? We are back next week for further tests
then...fingers crossed XX
We have put our house on the market as we thought we were home and dry. Had two viewings this morning ...again..fingers crossed
