Medicals
 

Got medicals tomorrow and feeling quite nervous! :ohmy:

Re: Medicals
 

:fingerscrossed: for you!

Unless you are very slim, I would fast if possible. Then, if they have to do the blood test because your waist size is over, you won't need to go back - they can do it there and then! :thumbsup:

Re: Medicals
 

Oh my goodness - how big is my waist allowed to be?? They have told us to fast from 11pm - we have the medicals at 10am :fingerscrossed:

Re: Medicals
 

When we did ours, it was less than 88cm for a woman. However, looking at the forms, they now look different. There was also a requirement for BMI to be less than 35. The fact that they have asked you to fast probably means that they will do the cholesterol test regardless.
Sure you will be fine - lay off the alchohol, no bacon sarnies for breakfast and all will be well! :thumbup:

Re: Medicals
 

Thanks Chippy - I might save that :drinkwine: til tomorrow night!!

Re: Medicals
 

The NZIS changed the form in May this year, all applicants are to have cholesterol tests (less the kids of course) so it's nowt to do with whether or not a person needs to eat more salad and less macdonalds :-)

Re: Medicals
 

We're back and it all seemed to go well, just have to wait to get the results! :fingerscrossed:

Re: Medicals
 

How long for the results? I'd be on pins waiting!

Re: Medicals
 

They said up to 12 days - so not too long I guess!! Would just like to know now :D

Re: Medicals
 

Have you hit the bottle and the bacon sarnies yet? :thumbsup:

Re: Medicals
 

Hehe - I did have a few large glasses last night when we got home!!! :D

Re: Medicals
 

Dont Be....
My OH got stage fright when it came to giving a urine sample.....the Nurse handed him the bottle and he just looked at me......and said "but i don't need to" me and the nurse ended up "encouraging" him to "try" in front of the rest of the waiting room....Not the first time iv had to have this conversation but it is usually with my son who is potty training lol.......

You'll be fine if im honest i wish i had kept a few things to myself when i had mine....bit naughty but true!

Re: Medicals
 

Thanks Cookie! All done and seemed to go ok - so we're just waiting on the results, they said all ok so far, just depends on x-ray and blood results :)

Re: Medicals

Re: Medicals
