Thank you, sir. I thought about you guys this weekend. I hope you are well!

Thank you so much.  We are fine.  Just patiently waiting.  No stress right now.  We know it will happen eventually.

let it be an approval please...

I have an email confirmation that they received my online inquiry but my case doesn’t show up like this hmmm

@vocaledge I wasn’t actually nervous for my medical, but your review has made me nervous. 

I too haven’t even touched a cigarette, and would hate to be accused of using drugs! 

Mine is the week after next.

Sorry not sorry 😂😂

It is one of the best American comedy series out there. 😁

Not like we haven't got the time to watch the whole lot again 😂😑😭

Swings and roundabouts...

What does the medical involve?

I'm dreading the thought of getting the old mossy cottage out for a complete stranger. 

😳😑😥

Well..... I got there - needed to pee so got my cup right away (which is TINY)... Handed that back and was asked for my paperwork.  They took copies, and I was given more forms to fill out and then handed those back....

After about 5 mins, a nurse yelled my name (and I mean YELLED), and then she todl me with a huge smile on my face that I was rare because I already had my vaccinations and she wouldn't be seeing me, and that they'd give me a complete form before I left for AOS to say all my vaccinations are complete already.

Then another 5 mins or so and a guy called me, and took me to have the chest X-Ray done.  Pretty simple, although the position he made me stand in was PAINFUL.  But thats OK - I didn't mind.

Went back, sat down, this time about 10 mins or so, and the doctor called.  She chatted about my questionairre, asked about mental health (I have had PTSD so had provided a letter saying I never had harmed myself and was not any risk to myself or anyone else) - she simply asked what had happened and I told her with no problem.  Then the drug chat came, and she was just so adamant and rude about it but I refused to give in and say I'd even tried drugs.  That finally came to an end and then she weighed me... (165lbs), and did an eye test (read the letters on the wall).

After that she looked in my eyes, then my ears and throat, listened to my heart and lungs, did a physical (I only ever had to take off my top, so your mossy might be safe!)... she felt the tops of my feet to check I had pulses there....????

Then she took some blood (she BLOODY hurt, even after I told her I have a fear of needles), and that was it - it was over.

I had to sit back in the waiting room for another ten mins or so, and then they call you to pay and you're all done.

 

The one thing I will say is that she gave away NO information.  She wouldn't tell me if things would affect my visa status or not.  She wouldn't tell me if her findings were normal.  None of that.  She just said if the tests come back and I require treatment for Syphillis, Gonnorhea or Tuberculosis, then they will call me within 5 business days... otherwise if I dont hear from them, I can assume those tests were all negative.

 

It really was painless other than one doctor who was probably just in a Monday morning bad mood.

Be prepared for that, but it could have just been that single doctor having a bad day.

Ooohhhhhhhhh... I have been on a series of antidepressants (sertraline 2009 and Celeste 2013) after my dad suddenly died. Is the letter by yourself or a doctor? Yikes. That's got me worried now. Apart from that, I'm all good with my jabs now, I think. Going to put in for my medical history. 

 

Also... "Brownies" at university. 😥 I honestly didn't know. Being a hungry student, who turns down free food?! 😂

 

Totally relieved about the cottage. In a bit of a Tobias from Arrested Development... I'm definitely a Never-Nude. 😂 The bloods though... I'll just barf in her face! 😏

 

Thank you so much for the info. I'm slight less anxious now. Just gotta lose some lbs 😂

Must. Stop. Drinking.

In contrast to @vocaledge's medical experience, my fiance filled out the forms for drug use and stuff by himself.  The doctor handed him the forms and was like "just tick the boxes"...so very easy!
