I was told I had to go and get a health check before August 13. I got some stamped documnet with my name on it and I'm supposed to go to some specific hospital on this website.

Was anyone else told that they have to do it,too? I just had all the health tests required for e2 arc about 6 months ago, so I don't see the point of having to go again.

Did you make a copy of the results of your last checkup? That would have been a good idea.

Are you sure this is something that you HAVE to do? That is, I believe that there is an annual health check that you CAN have done without having to pay for it -- not sure if the government pays for it, or if the school pays for it, but YOU do not have to pay for it -- and THAT health check has a deadline....

Some years I get my free check, some years I have just skipped it...this might be what that is....

i had to get a separate health check when i changed univs this year (not for kimmig, the one i got last year was fine for them) its part of their hiring process for them, just got an email from my ta saying they are offering the whole shebang (prostate etc) for free or a very low price, dont have to do that but its nice to know about

most people i know do everything to duck them, my advice if you dont want it play dumb about it, usually they will let it drop in time

Was it August 13 or September 13? Maybe they're making you go since you can't keep the months straight.
