Question about medical

[Sebeck]

Hi I am awaiting my medical request and wondered if anyone who has had it can tell me if there are standard things they are checking for? How involved is it? Do they do an ECG for example?

They do blood tests and urine tests to check HIV and syphilis chest x-ray for TB, they listen to your heart, check your height and weight, blood pressure and ask some medical questions like if you're on medication and had hospital stays etc. I guess an ECG would be doctors discretion as they listen to your heart beat.
Mine took about 30 minutes. She also tested the pulse in my feet.

I just booked in for mine today and was told the test would take 2.5 hours in total! They didn't state the specific tests, but it seems it's pretty thorough.

I was told it would be that but was around 30-40 minutes. Was also told I would have to strip to underwear but that wasn't needed in the end

I guess it depends on where you get it done!
