Hi guys,
Just got back from my medicals and wanted to share our experience.
We got there about 15 mins early. When we got to the desk the lady took our Section A forms and our passports for verification and handed us urine bottle for samples and also a medical history questionnaire to fill out. It was pretty straightforward (have you ever had any hospital treatment/operations, any history of heart disease - about 15 questions in all).
It had 3 pages. The back page is the consent form for allowing them to take a blood sample, and the middle page is all the stuff the doctor fills in during the medical examination.
Anyway, we had a further 40 minute wait since the doctor wasn't there and had been called on an emergency because of a mad person!
The lady handed us back our passports fairly quickly, I can confirm we did not need to bring photocopies of the bio page with us.
Anyway when the doctor got back it was pretty quick. He agreed to do me first since we said I hate needles so the first thing he did was took my blood sample. Then my blood pressure, which he commented was excellent (130/80 not bad for a 38 year old!) Then he examined inside my ears, did an eye test without my glasses (no idea why they asked to bring my glasses to the exam because he never asked to see them or to do an eye test with them on).
Then I was asked to lay on the couch whilst he took a little hammer to test my reflexes on a few of my joints, and felt my stomach and some of my joints and then asked me to take some deep breaths whilst he listened to my breathing.
And then that was it! I'd ticked the "A" box which is no serious problems.
Same for my wife (although she was a bit mad that despite being nearly 10 years younger than me her blood pressure was slightly worse than mine! Her eye sight is better than mine though).
Then it was off to the local hospital for the X-rays. We were waiting about 15 mins, then they asked my wife to get changed into a gown, and she had her X-ray. I was in there all of 2 mins, the X-ray is standing up so it's very quick. They confirmed that the image had taken ok and then we left.
The hospital said they'd send the X-rays to the doctors tomorrow, and the doctors said that all the results should be sent to CHC by Tuesday next week (would be a bit earlier but we have Friday and Monday as public holidays here). So CHC should have everything by the end of next week.
We just need to give them a call for piece of mind around next Wednesday time to check there were no problems with the chest X-rays or blood tests.
Ah well, we should have our police certificates early next week then we can send RPRF, police certificates and new Schedule 1s off to CHC.
Then it's back to the waiting game!
