I had my medical in london on monday and now wednesday i have a message to call them im so worried they found something wrong with me. why else would they ring me. please reply if you have any ideas.

No ideas, just wanted to send you positive thoughts. I'm sure everything is well, its prob just that the Dr fancied you and wants to know if your sure you don't want to call off the engagement and marry them instead.

Am thinking of you and hoping its nothing important.

Im sure if it was a problem medicaly, they wouldnt leave a message on your phone. Probebly something less for you to worry about. Try not to worry too much.

I know someone who got a call back, and had a similar message...all it was was that they couldn;t figure out some of his handwriting on the form when it came to processing, and wanted clarification.

So dont worry, whatever it is will be sorted. When is your interview?

I dont have a date yet thanks for your reply.

Don't stress about it. It's probably something silly that they need to double check with you. No need to worry as worrying does nothing but cause more stress. Everything will be fine.

Keep us informed of what the dr's office asks you. It's all likely it's something mundane as mentioned above.

I hear you got your interview date? 23rd May?

yes I phoned the dos and they told me it had been scheduled. Just cant get excited about it due to this phone call .

u have an interview now? yay! me next! lolol i wish :S

I rang this morning and they said my results were clear but they needed to do another xray to get the sides of my lungs. They are gonna do this on the day of my interview, to save me travelling to London twice. What a relief

Oh, so glad to hear that! And it's good of them to be so accommodating.

Yes they are very nice there, she said its normal for some to have to have the xrays done again.

well that is great news! now you can get excited about your interview!!

yes I can ty

That is really great news. Thanks for getting back to us! What a scare! Doctors should NEVER leave messages without saying clearly that "everything is OK."

Yes it would have saved me a lot of worry and a sleepless night. thanks for all your comments

I'm pleased to read it isn't anything bad....some people can be so thoughtless

Good luck with the interview

yea but its just with hippa and stuff they can't say anything over the phone , because of privacy. Glad it's only something little and woo about the interview

Glad to hear its something mundane. I'm surprised they left you a message! The scary Asian doctor who did my medical, told me that I wouldn't hear from them again, unless it was bad news.

Glad that it was something minor!!! No worries...and your interview is fast approaching!!!

thanks everyone for your support

Glad it was something simple Sally!!!! Sorry it caused you overnight stress, but am glad everything is OK!!!!

Glad to hear it was all ok

that's what I was told too! which is why I haven't contributed to this thread before... figured that was NOT going to be a helpful comment before you knew what it was all about

glad it worked out

Thanks, I appreciate your comments, on reflection just annoyed after paying £240 that they did not xray it correctly and that I have to have another xray to get the sides of my lungs which they missed.

Glad it went well for you Sal and Jay. I know if I got a call like that I'd crap myself ....

I had my medical on Monday too. Kelly, I saw you there, I only knew who it was afterward - you were advising that poor woman who had been waiting two years about VisaJourney so I thought I'd check online to see who else was there. I was the really handsome Irishman ... lol.

We sent Packet 3 back on the 16th, still no packet 4 ... now I'm getting worried!!!

R

Was the "scary Asian doctor" a female?

The female Asian doctor I had told me I had to quit smoking (OK, fair enough) but when I asked afterward if I was going to live (jokingly) she said, "Well, we're all dying".

Ah the humanity!!!

Anyway, vis-a-visa the external genitalia examinations, she said "can you just prove you're a man". So I farted and scratched myself thinking that would be enough proof, but she still wanted to have a look at the goods.

I was really facinated about the gender test. However I had a male Irish doctor, and he never looked, never did a boob examination either. I suppose he figured a nice Irish girl like me wouldn't lie about really being a fella. ahahhaha So I didn't have to have the 'full' medical experience.

lol i stil have to go back to be rexrayed, jeez.

regarding your interview, I called the Dos and she told me it had been scheduled, I still havent got packet 4 either, but they must be slow at London on sending those out.

£240??
so it's gone up £70 in a matter of months? that's insane...

I think Sal had to have a jab at Knightsbridge, if I'm not mistaken -- that must be the rogue £70.

No hon, i had to have two jabs so that put mine to £240.

Yes that's the doctor I was talking about. Very scary! lol. She certainly was very direct.

Let that be a lesson to all of you, stick to the the male Irish doctor and he'll be too shy to look down your pants!!! Defo won't tell you off

Her first question to me was "So! You're married to an American then?"

I thought "Ah ha. It begins already." then said, "No! Getting married to an American." She was writing something when I answered.

Kinda freaky, no? Maybe she assumed one as handsome as I couldn't be single!!!

yea she asked me strange questions too for a doctor,

Yep! she asked me that exact question too. Then later on, she asked what does my wife do.

She asked me some visa specific questions. My guess is she is paid todo so, as well as do the medical?

Certainly a warning maybe to those with medicals upcoming.

Makes you wonder doesnt it

she asked me the same thing!

though before we all get suspicious, I guess she does loads of K-3s as well, so it might just be her standard question...?

I warned Damian about that doctor and those kind of questions.. but he was lucky enough to get the nice Irish Doctor.

The male Irish doctor wasn't shy when I had my medical back in August 07. He did a basic breast check and a gender check on me, and my 15 year old daughter


Dawn.

They should only do a breast examination on women over 35. Under 35 should be just the fanny flash.

Mags,

Really? He did give my daughter a basic breast check, with her Bra on though. Had I known that I would have said something at the time.

Dawn.

why would you object though? women younger than 35 DO get breast cancer, it's just less common... and it's hardly like he would be in it for the perve value, with you in the room...

I didn't get the boobie grope - just the fanny flash

Me niether she just said lift up you boobies and then said "no implants then" lol

LMAO!! I didn't get asked that... maybe from their droopiness it was obvious that I don't have implants

I didn't say I objected, neither did I say anything about the doctor being a Perv. I just don't think my daughter should have had to have one if it wasn't neccessary. End of.

Dawn.

I went back and had the 2nd xray, and there is some fluid on my lung, which they are concerned over, I rang this morning and they said it is going to be looked at by a senior radiologist, Im so worried and stressed and my interview is on friday, hope this doesnt mean I will be denied.
