Lee Thorp Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hi I was wondering if anyone knows what's involved in having a medical, I know my wife and I need blood tests and chest xrays but what else do they do. I mean do we have to get naked and have everywhere probed hahaha or is it just a simple examination. Thanks for any replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeful Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 its a simple examination, abdomen palpate, BP, weight, urine and general discussion about medical history and medication- nothing startling at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocolevi Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 If you tap medicals in the search bar there are some good older posts with a lot of details with what's involved x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflower Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Also you'll need to give a urine sample. When I called the hospital for an interview, they said we dont need to fast for the test, which was great. They also said the female applicants shouldnt come during their period. It was very quick. First they took the urine and blood samples. Then chest xray, eye exam, a routine overall exam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest6235 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 My missus has sorted her knickers out for tomorrow ready to touch her toes for the medical. Her friend who emigrated to Melbourne last year had her hand stroked & was told she had nice eyes by the doctor .....whilst she was laying in her underwear!!!!!

Guest Guest6235 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Medicals all uploaded from yesterday with no problems. Medicals itself were fine, I only felt a little prick... from the needle of course. My wife got to wear a gown to cover herself when touching toes, so the best knickers worn were a waste of time.

Gidza Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Also you'll need to give a urine sample.

First they took the urine and blood samples. Then chest xray, eye exam, a routine overall exam. When we did ours I called the hosp to confirm about the period issue and they said it does not matter if a woman is on a period so I guess iy depends with which hospital you use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raychelsb Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Did you not get a gown? No! I got a little blanket thing that didn't cover me properly! Ah well, I'm sure they've seen worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
