Default Medicals

I have my medical on Friday and would like to know what the doctor does and what is involved, just so I don't get a surprise.
Also, I've just had my CxR back - am I allowed to open it or is it a state secret?

Caroline if you search for medicals on this or immigration folder you'll see loads of descriptions. It varies by doctor - if you post which part of UK you live in then maybe someone who has been to your doctor (there are only a few allowed to do it) will describe their experience.

In Short it is at least:

- X Ray of chest for each adult look ing for TB and lung issues
- Medical
-- BLood Test (look for HIV ! forget counselling dont get any ;-) ) (Not For kids)
-- If youve got tattoos another blood test is taken too (Not For Kids)
-- Height, Weight, Eyesight (with & without glasses )
-- Blood Pressure
-- Urine sample
-- Lie on table, push up against Dr's hands wiht legs etc to check they're working

Others have had more thorough exams there are plenty of threads to read through. Dont worry the medicals are not the nightmare they're portrayed as.

As has been said. The medicals are a doddle. Very basic. Nothing to worry about.

As far as I am aware the X-rays are not sent just the report unless there is a problem.

Good luck

Hi Cas,

I wouldnt worry you will be fine. The meds are fairly basic.
I think Spalen has pretty much told you everything.
We also had tummys checked (think for hernias) and hubby asked to cough.
Also we had ears and eyes checked but other than pretty much it!!

Good luck with it!!

Will it happen again - you'll have to wait and see - and good things come to those who wait.....

Envelope?, my CxR, sent by radiography for me to take to Doctor on Friday, so that he can look at it and send it DIMIA.
Know that looking at Medical report is a big NO, NO - wondered if I can take a peek at the CxR - soooo nosey!!
