Medicals done very thoroughly
Hi All,
We've completed another stage today we had X-rays yesterday and had to go for medicals today.
If anyone's got them coming up I recommend Duke Medical Centre in Sheffield the doctors were very thorough each one lasted at least 20 mins, my son and myself saw the male doc and Deb's and Amy the female doc. The x-rays were all ok so were the med's, the only problem was a slight trace of sugar in my sons urine sample he had to repeat the test 3 times [poor lad was sick of drinking water
] and the Doc has requested further investigation by our own GP. To that end we visited tonight and he was ok no trace at all. He's going for a blood test tomorrow and we'll know more next week sometime.
Costs if anyone's interested were
X-rays £50 each
Meds £60 each [1blood test] £70 [2 blood tests] £40 for kids
Blood tests were £20 for HIV £35 for HIV/hepb [if your tattooed you need the 2]
Total for the lot came to £505 for the four of us

Are your tattoos less than 12 months old perhaps?

The sugar in the blood may not be a problem.
I had a urine test some time ago now as part of the registration process with a new doctor.
When I got home I had a phone call saying that I had Protene in my water and to go back the next day for another test.
This went on for 6 days. Eventually they sent me for a blood test and was told the results would be sent to my GP in 4-5 days.
7 days later I had to phone the doctor for the results and all they said there was nothing to worry about. After investigation I found out that the batch of test strips they use was faulty and several patience had also been sent for blood tests.
Dont worry too much.

You must have had a more sympathetic panel Doc.
