Hey Mate,
Below are the answers for your queries...with pleasure I want to answer because, we have attended medicals very recently
in CMM Hyderabad.
>> Prior medical tests :
1. Yes. You can get your medical tests done from a known diagnostic center before you appear for actual medicals and check if anything is unusual, take medicine immediately for that.
2. If the illness is serious and if you think that will be caught in the actual medicals (Eg : diabetes), tell the doctor that you recently got it and you are under medication.
Otherwise no need.
3. Answer all the questions patiently and genuinely when the doctor asks for it.
>> Actual medical tests :
1. It will be in 2 stages
Stage 1
> collection of samples (Blood, urine)
(They do HIV & other test I don't remember but related to HIV kind of only)
> Chest xray
> if you say you have any illness, some relevant tests will be prescribed and you have to pay extra for that and get the tests done.
> Height/Weight checking
> vision test. (Its easy, just read the doctor's board with each eye by closing another at a time)
> BP
This won't really take more than 2 hours.
Stage 2 (Takes some 2-4 hours)
> Physical tests by Doctor
> Some questions about your health, your previous illness if any, hereditary problems.
Physical tests :
> Doctor asks us to completely remove the clothes except the inner wear for male. (They give a skirt and a shirt to female)
> He just checks if there are any scratches, surgery marks, scars, bruises on the body.
Do not worry at all. Do not feel panic or embarrassed. Its gonna be simple.
All the best to you.
BTW, when are you attending the medicals.
Cheers,
Prarthu
