Checking for cuts and scars - medical test

[Iampositive]

Hi members

I wanted to ask all who have went through their medicals as to how the doctor goes about checking for cuts and scars on the body...and what qualifies for being a cut or scar?

You'll fail if you even for a second yawn or sneeze. The doctors are very strict and might declare you unfit to immigrate to Canada at the very sight of a pimple or a freckle.

Like seriously. Chill man. Unless you'r seriously ill, everything's going to be fine.

A boil is nothing.

Thats fine, but I am seriously asking, that I have cut marks on my upper arm. they are many some visible some invisible. Would I pass medical? will they see them and ask about what happened

At my medical I had the following tests:
Blood
Urine
Chest X ray
Weight and height
Blood pressure

At no point was I checked for scars or marks on my body.

If you're asked what the marks on your arms are, explain it to the physician and it'll be OK.

I don't know anyone who was rejected because of their scars. Good luck.

LOL nice observation, really ironic but on the other hand, 'positive' means bad news in medical terms (HIV positive for example).

Seriously, I have scars from surgery and the doctor didn't blink an eye, much less ask me what type of surgery it was.
