Hello everyone.

Had my medical on Monday and I didn't faint! Very happy :)

We got there around 20 minutes before my appointment time. I had the chest x-ray within five minutes of handing the receptionist a form back. Then waited a while. They were apparently running late although there were only two others in the waiting room with me. But that was just the female waiting room so maybe they had a lot in the male area. Who knows.

My doctor was quite formal. She didn't say anything to help me relax as I'm fairly certain it was obvious I was very nervous. She also didn't give me advance warning as to what she was about to do. I guess she has to test a lot of people every day and gets bored explaining everything?

I hated having my blood taken, but just scrunched my eyes shut so I wouldn't see it. And then I was out and feeling relieved.

Thank you to those of you who gave me advice. In the end I decided not to provide a letter from my doctor about fainting at appointments, and figured if I fainted at the exam I would tell her then. I made sure to have a big breakfast, and some chocolate, and have a leisurely walk to the address. I then distracted myself by talking to my Mum who was waiting with me. It wasn't a horrible experience, but I'm glad its over and done with. :)
