Medical Madness

Post by Illustrious »

Well had my medical today and everything went fine, have to go back for a hearing test again for some reason, dont really know why.

Interesting story though.

He told me to strip down, I thought nothing of it, other than being glad I decided to wear underwear there. I just thought I had to get undressed so he could accurately measure my weight.

Boy was I wrong. He next told me to lay down on the bed, I smiled and complied, next thing I know, he's cupped me jewels and told me to cough, that smiley quickly turned to shock.

I honestly was not expecting that, I did a search yesterday on the forum about medical, found a good one and nowhere did it say about a good ole feel of them.

But anyways, for the benefit of others, a complete run down of the medical.

First there is the admin side of things, just filling out forms etc etc.
Blood pressure, max vo2 test, height check, eye colour, hair colour, tattoo check, birthmark check.

Urine test you must also do to check for diabetes & liver disease.

After all that is done, you then have your weight checked, colour test, hearing test, pulse test, balance test (walking on ya tip toes & walking backwards on your heels)

After that you then pretty much strip down to ya boxers (wear underwear) and then are subjected to a body test, ie hernia check (dont be shy fella's) and he pokes you to check for any tender spots. Also listens for any heart irregularities.

-----------

That should pretty much cover it, if ya need any more details (which im sure ya wont) feel free to PM me... not that I'll reply ;) I will really... Im so very lonely lol.

You probably have to go back to have your hearing tested because you failed to hear the 'ever so camp cleaner' who was loitering about the place say 'I am not a doctor but feel free to go along with this game I luuurve to play....' 'clothes off and on you pop ducky...'

That procedure was part of the medical examination when I joined, as I understand it was a test for Hernia, so was the touch your toes ,to ensure that you didn't have a dose of the farmers. The examination for FFI was a giggle, the doc would wander along the ranks lifting everyone's jewels on the end of his cane,making rude remarks on size and so on.We weren't so uptight in those days,living 40-50 in a barrack soon banished any shyness.

Never known them to ask you to lay down while they ask you to cough, you must have looked tired

Glad to hear your medical went sort of ok mate, I have a quick question for you mate. Do you know the minimum weight (cut off) you have to be to pass if there is one?





Cheers Tom
