'Kin 'ell!!!

Just booked my medical for my PR application.

£150!??!

And this isn't even at a private doctor's!!

Is this how much it normally costs?

Gonna be skint by the time I land at this rate!

Sounds about right. I don't think medicals are ever free. Even your own GP would charge you, if I recall correctly.

My husband's was £185, plus postage for secure delivery down to London.

Thats on the cheap side of average, ours cost 210gbp by the time all the extras were added.

$700 (USD) here in the US for the wife and myself.

This is "private" Most doctors that work on the NHS, also work privatley, you can always buy there time, if 10 minutes is not enough!

You have to use the nominated doctors, but pay for there time privatley. That is why the appointments are out of their "normal" practice hours.
It is the same as we paid. You also will have to pay up to 75 pound for X rays and about 45 for blood tests. Some people have not been told this until they turn up for their X rays and get handed the bill so be ready if you have not been informed. We were, but there were others when we went that had not, and got a shock! they thought the 150 was for the lot. It isnt!!

It's £150 here and the doctor keeps It all apart from £25 given to the secretary for every 10 typed.

Yeah...enough to make you sick, isn't it!!

Arf!

Doesn't sound as though I've done too badly then listening to you lot.

It's actually £110 for the medical and £40 for the chest x-ray.

Sounds like I got off lightly. Still seems a lot though.

Does that include blood work up cause thats another £40

If it does thats a good price.

Amazingly expensive for half an hours work, we went to Canada for them and paid $220 for a family of four in Vancouver city BC. Poor buggers that have to do them in UK. It only was a cursory look over by the doc too, seems like its a lot more involved in the UK.

That was $220 Canadian about ten shillings and six in old money.
