Passing a medical

[killer-mike]

Hey everyone,

I'm soon going to take my first medical but am quite worried that I could fail it as I have a sebaceous cyst on the back left-hand side of my head.

sebaceous cyst :
a common cyst of the skin; filled with fatty matter (sebum) that is secreted by a sebaceous gland that has been blocked.

(Just a 2cmx2cm round lump on my head)

The docter said that its alright to keep so I did not have to get it removed but that was before I got into boxing.

During the medical will the docter examine my head? and will I be able pass with it?

thanks inadvance

Yea ive got a medical this sunday what exactly do they do? I hope they dont do the oldschool "hold your balls and make you cough test"...........

If you two lads are British the test goes like this...

check hearing, heart, sight, blood pressure, breathing... piss on a stick... "have you had any problems in the past...any history of family medical issues?......no?.....ok...you've passed."

Piss on a stick will be interesting...............seeing as we have no toilets at our gym lol.

Dont worry. You piss in a cup - he'll dip the stick... throw the piss in the drain.

Testing for drugs... diabeties... stuff like that i think.

Wait wait what if u cant piss :s

Also do you have to pay? Aparrantly its 25 squid to get checked?

what about vision testing???? thats what im worried about.

There are probably going to be requirements for vision testing. As far as the cyst goes, sounds like the headgear would cover that up so that should be fine.

As far as what you pay goes, that depends on the doctor.

do they test for weed? its not exactly performance enhancing.

So I've finally gotten the form for my ME1 Initial medical exam and was just wondering what is done in the 'Genitourniary examination', 'scrotal mass'. What exactly do they do?
