Hi

Just wanted to know if anyone had had their medical done in Toronto, and what the medical actually involves. I have read widely different accounts from, full and thorough physical examinations to just Heart, lungs, xrays and bloodtests. I am not terribly fond of Doctors so want to "brace" myself as it were. Please help

Yes, yes, I KNOW what is says on the official forms, but what ACTUALLY happens? I have been told it is a cursory listen to your chest, blood pressure, bloods and xrays from some people and others say that it involves Pap smears and breast exams, and anal exams and the like. Just wanted to hear from someone who had ACTUALLY had a medical, rather than the official line.

When my family had their medical, it was pretty cursory, but my wife had to have some additional tests because of her medical history and because at the time I thought I had asthma I had to provide additional information from my Doctor.

All the tests we had was to avoid the likelihood of problems. I had the feeling that they were on my side.

When I had my bood pressure done, it was high, so they did it again a couple of minutes later.

During the X-Ray, the men had to be topless. They did make an inapropriate remark about my sons six-pack which made me a bit more nervous about my 10-pack. But overall a pretty painless process.
