Well i thought i would post a fewlines about my medical today. I am still awaitng my police certificate from overseas - but i booked the medical to get that over with - and today was the day!!!

I found the bentinck mansions quite easy by using Bond Street underground - as you come out of the tube ( which also seems to be a small shopping centre) I crossed the road and walked right - look for debenhams - and then you see Marleybone Lane - the diagram in packet 3 is good.

I arrived an hour by accident - so i waited in the waiting room for a while. All in all everyone was very friendly -and the doctor was keen to ensure i undertood what was going to happen and why.

I have been panicking all week about it - irrational i know! and it seemed to affect blood pressure - the doctor checked it again as the last thing and confirmed it was down from the first reading - so he beleives there is nothing tobe concerned about there.

Just te reassure anyone who is waiting - stay calm ( easy for me to say !!) and it really is very straight forward

I'm glad it went well! It seems like lots of people have the exact same experience - the doctor says blood pressure is high due to nervousness then takes another reading later and it's fine. I know my fiance did.

It wasn't the medical itself that got me nervous, it was waiting for the results. No idea why, I had no reason to think there was anything wrong with my health. I guess it's just part of the process.

Glad it went ok though, good luck with the rest of your journey :)

Refusing to use the spellchick!

I have put you on ignore. No really, I have, but you are still ruining my enjoyment of this site. .

Yeah, I kept clenching. The doc told me to relax but the cold metal just made that impossible.

LOL - I was exactly the same.... they were great at the medical and everything went smoothly. The doctor was lovely and the nurse was fantastic. I am needle phobic and started to sniffle when I saw the needle so she had me turn my head and honestly I didnt feel a thing. We talked about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie while she did the injections so I had something else to concentrate on. It was only when I left that I started thinking "what if I have something that I dont know about?", and "what if I have something incurable". I dont know why I worried about it at all because like Purple Hibiscus, I had no reason whatsoever to think there was anything wrong with me. I was so relieved when I got to the embassy interview and got the approval. I have to say though that I did wonder later on "what if something came up on the medical which the embassy weren't bothered about or think I already know about!?". How ridiculous is that?
