MEDICAL

[kirstygolf]

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...

[kirstygolf]

Oh well I should be ok then!

Cheers.

I heard they make you stand on one leg with your eyes closed and give you a push - or is somebody winding me up?

[Gonzo]

Winding you up on that one!

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.

Thanks guys!

But avoid mention of the two fluffy ones..it will confused the quacks who can't tell cats from dogs

Let's face it, you can be about 17 stone overweight (like a girl on my course) and still get a Cat 1 medical. I really don't think there's much to worry about.

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????!!!!!

[kirstygolf]

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?

[Barnaby the Bear]

I feel violated!!!!!!!!!!!!

What no "Undercarriage Check"?

LXGB

[kirstygolf]

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

Barnaby I heard you find excuses to go for a medical once a week don't protest now!

[Glasgow_Flyer]

Did you go to Alan Downie?

[Dances with Boffins]

Do Gatwick still have the big fluffy white bathrobes? I always meant to nick one of them...

[kirstygolf]

Well the ones at LHR were a little rigid and had lost any fluffiness they maybe once had....

[Bern Oulli]

A rigid bathrobe??? The mind positively boggles. Another thread heading for Jet Blast methinks.

[Gonzo]

Have to agree with Kirsty, the robes I've had at Heathrow, well, the laundry didn't use Comfort, that's for sure.....

[Dances with Boffins]

Berni - come back. Someone has broke me toys...
