Re: Medicals - what to expect
 
Our experience:

Me: Blood sample, urine test, eye test, chest X-ray, hernia examination, blood pressure, hearing test, general medical questioning.

Wife: Same as above and yes, she did get a hernia and breast examination too but a nurse was present throughout.

No problems encountered. Doctor was a bit abrupt but then again he's probably had to do this sort of thing 'hunners' of times.

Oh, and you generally pay seperately for the X-ray as it's the clinician that gets the moolah.

Thank you all - I am not longer concerned as we have had them done. No where near as bad as I had expected - didn't even have to undress so new matching undies as suggested were a waste of time!

Im pretty sure the DMP and CIC dont make the decision on the grounds of matching underwear anyway:)

Good Luck.

How long did it last for, can you give me the lowdown on what they did and asked you. Where did you have it done?
