Prior chest x rays at medical?

[QueenOfBlades 224]

I've read a couple of places that you should take in prior chest X rays to the medical exam in Knightsbridge. I asked my GP how I'd get hold of mine (I had one a month ago to check if I had heart issues as my dad had a heart attack). It was all normal and they've said they have no need to refer me any further. My GP said I won't be able to get a hold of my X-rays as they are archived, can't be photocopied and are on a small chip thing then destroyed. Is this likely to cause a problem?

I've never hear of anybody taking their x-rays to Knightsbridge and I've been reading UK posts for 4 years, so it can't be common UK advice. Was it maybe Manila where tuberculosis is prevalent and sputum tests are routine? You are worrying a lot. If you have not had a heart attack, or similar problem, why are you even trying to drum up one? Heart problems? No is the answer. People with heart problems, diabetes, etc immigrate.

I agree with Nich-Nick that they won't want copies of x-rays that you have had taken elsewhere. They will do their own.
