What does a full medical check up consist of?

[emyandpotato]

Going for one next month and would like to know what to expect! I was told it takes two hours?!

TWO hours?!!!!!! I have NO clue And I'm a student nurse! I expect the usual blood pressure/urine sample/blood sugar but that takes a matter of minutes.

I know, I am pretty nervous! I can't even imagine what they're gonna do. It's for drugs testing so they have to be thorough but I don't know what exactly that'll mean.

Thank you! Weird question, but for weight can you wear your clothes?

 

[lindseymw]

Yes, you wear clothes! He usually wears his shoes as well. They do height as well to work out BMI bollocks.

He said most of the time is spent filling in forms.

ETA: They have not taken a blood sample from him so that may not be included. Drugs test is done via urine sample.
