how thorouhgh is the medical?

Post by alias »

ok we all have our minor issues and i dont think there is a man not concerned about failing the medical but i do have a couple of queries...

- i went to the doc complaing of chest pain, they ran some test and it was all clear, i had strained the wall of my chest training somehow and stuipdly i went thinking i had breating problems, will they knock me back if i try to apply within 6 months even though there was absolutely nothing wrong?

- my right thumb has restricted movment only very slightly though, i went to a recruiter and they told me not to bother declaring it as he said it wasnt substantial enough to put down and i can do evry thing as before the accident (it was cut with glass) do you think they will pick it up in the medical exam?

im probally just stressing for no reason!

the chest pain and hypochondria is very common, when the chest muscle gets pulled it takes a long time to heal, couple with it's normally on the side of your heart because most are rioght handed and the left is weaker.

It is on my medical report a couple of years ago, i went in thinking i was going to have a heart attack and was still convinced even after i'd left the doctors. nothing was brought up at the medical.

can't remember about him checking my fingers though.
