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!!

Jus t a quick update on the thread to include that I am seeing Dr Talpur on Friday - will Stokies who have seen him please let me know what to expect?
Having my work leaving do that evening in Manchester - 22 drunken nurses - so watch out!! Glad that the medical is BEFORE the night out - wouldn't have a hope in hells' chance of passing it if it was the day after!!

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.

That's not correct, having tattoos or piercings makes no difference to the medical whatsoever...
