I can't think of anything you have missed.

). The next two times she didn't bother, and its not like she remembered me from previously. I think it just depends on her mood 
But other than that, the meds were always a breeze, its just flexibility, blood, urine, reflexes and stuff.

No they don't. Well I didn't, and no-one I've talked to did.
Maybe its age related.

We are going on a 457 Temporary sponsored visa and have been told that we only need a chest x-ray. The children however require a full medical.

Hiya,
i've noticed in reading this thread,that a few talk about flexibility and reflexes.
Garry,my hubby,has fairly reduced flexibility and can't touch his toes as he has 2 very dodgy discs,so can i ask if they are more focussed on the one that it applying for the visa..i.e. me who is fit, because i'm the one earning and have the modl job,..or do we have the potential for all of us(family of 5) not getting the visa's because of his discs?
Lynn
Does anyone know of anyone failing the meds?

I was not asked to touch my toes nor was my wife and we are in our 50's.
The meds really are VERY basic.
Don't worry.

Thanx for this,it's very reassuring,i guess it's just that at this stage,it would be so devastating to fail and not go as my heart is already leaving here and we will still have about a year in the u.k.
