Hi Jo..........I went for my medical yesterday afternoon and took about an hour and a half in total with waiting in between. First there is the Chest Xray then urine sample, height, weight, waist size, BMI worked out followed by the form filling complete with stethascope on the chest and back, blowing into a tube for pressure check, blood pressure, light in the eyes and ears, looked inside my mouth. She felt around the thyroid for any lymph activity and across my upper and lower abdomen then did the little hammer on the knees thing. Also asked me about any big birth marks or any scars that i had. We talked through my medical history eg if i had had surgery or any ongoing illness and finished off with a breast examination because i am over 50. I was then sent off to the nurses for my bloods to be taken. Now waiting for the results which are expected to come back in 5 to 7 days.
I was dreading it but it turned out ok i would recommend The Bridge Clinic in Maidenhead. Easy to find and really nice people.
