MEDICAL
Hello there!
Can anybody provide me with some more detailed information about what to expect on the medical?
Are there any common problems which would fail a person?
Thank you.

Off the top of my head.....
Drunkeness....
Being high on drugs....
Being six foot eleven......
Don't worry about it! If you're going to fail (and you'd have to be pretty unhealthy to do so!), not much you can do about it now!
It's the usual stuff, eyesight, lung capacity, hearing, colour blindness, ECG, blood pressure...

During a medical check before returning to work after an accident I was simply asked if I had two of everything i should have two of and one of those I should have one of.
Don't worry Kirsty, if your reasonably healthy it should not be a problem. They're not expecting Superwoman and worrying wll only raise your blood pressure.

So if you are only 10 stone, but smoke 80 a day and drink gallons of meths. Would that mean you are more healthy? She may be big boned! You sure the rubber gloves aren't normal????!!!!!

Well that's me. I've been thoroughly examined. No rubber gloves or uncomfortably placed thermometers and certainly no probes.
What's this society coming to eh?

Well I'm not sure that I have an "undercarriage" as such to check! Maybe that would explain it....
