Anyone done the health exam lately? I have mine tomorrow, am a bit worried. How is the service? What is done? Is it safe? What does it entail? Will the doctor speak English? What rights do I have? Anything I need to know?

if it was anything like mine then it'll be a bit of a joke. They got me to pee into a paper cup and leave it on a tray with a dozen other unmarked cups, i had an X-ray with a machine that looked like it was pre-korean war, They measured me ( an got it wrong by over 5cm! ) , blood test for drugs and AIDS....thats about it really. Dont bank on people speaking English either, best to go with a co worker or friend if you can.

How safe it is depends upon the hospital or clinic you go to. They're all different, but for the most part I've found them to be pretty good so far. The one I went to was somewhat state of the art, but like the other person, they got my height wrong by a LOT. The test is only really interested in really blatant things and, of course, the drug stuff.
