Class 1 Medical - What's involved?

So they say to allow half a day for your class 1 medical.

I was expecting perhaps an hour at the most. What exactly is involved that takes so long?

Thanks

Hi Rich,

This has been covered in detail on a number of occasions. Can I suggest you use the search facility.

Cheers,

It used to be that you had to sit in a dark room for 45 mins with a gorgeous irish nurse flashing things at you. Which stretched things out to a morning. Maybe they just take more on now with more waiting.

Now that test is gone.

You just sit around in a gown and wait until its your turn to go onto the next test.

Only comedy value worth doing is if you get the general examination room first and the is a waiting room of 17-19 year old blokes. Have a scratch at your backside and say "jesus that man doesn't have small fingers that tickled the back of my throat" as you walk back in.

Watch you don't do it near the smaller older nurse she packs a mean rabbit punch. "They are all now going to have to go through there first before taking their blood pressure now" trying not to laugh as a room of distressed teenagers hangs on every word.
