Medical Re-take

Post by majc2213 »

Has anyone had to retake a medical, i have to retake mine due to an injury that prevented me doing the prmc. i was just wondering whether the medical is only focused towards the injured area eg lower legs? as ive already passed one

I've been told when i go back i only need tog et my leg rechecked everything els is fine.

Medical involvs a urine sample check for protiens, glucose ect ect. eye site, hearing, measure your chest when breathing in and out, get you to blow on a pipe then get your blood pressure and heart rate checked. Then you get taken to see a docter gets you to take all your clothes off and gives you ful body check heart, joints ect apart from that asks you a whole load of piss easy questions family illness's ect, prepare to wait though its with the NHS i was waiting 2 hours with the lads that went for it before any of us got seen.
