Medical Passed!

Post by AndyG321 »

Woohoo just passed my medical and sounds stupid but I'm over the moon!!!
Lost so much sleep over the last few months thinking I might not get through because I thought I was Red/Green colour blind... I went in he tested me and said 'nah you're fine' top bloke!!!

I know the rest is just down to me so time to start doubling efforts! :D

I bet you are loving it. Well done mate, it has already been said but now you know it is down to you, so go for it.

I am also colour blind, don't have a problem with the coloured wires but I am a dope when it comes to the lantern test.

:P

Well done mate. Glad people keep on passing this stuff, it's becoming too easy to fail it or to have it stalled. Keep your fitness up, your well on track!

I wonder how many people let the doc cup their balls and they havn't got a clue why he did it. "Annnnnd cough please..... yes that seems OK"

I thought that was a test for hernia's or something like that? Please excuse the question, im usually better on things like this... I never had to do that. She just pushed into my lower abdominal area asking some questions, with the answer "no" each time from me.

Asked about me balls though and that was "no" when she asked about problems.

Im in good working order 8)

Hehe he didn't 'cup me either' just felt around my abdominal area and checked my back and sides etc...maybe some people just get 'special' treatment?....

I don't know what's worse, my unnecessary cupping by a male doc, or the fact that AJ got examined by a woman.

I wanted female prodding :cry:
