I refer your ladyship to the night in question when I quite cleary stated that letting me look after the kitty was not a good idea, for the health of those persons dependant on said kitty, on said night out, as I just said

Just a wee story about medicals.....a bit of an urban myth IMHO...
A lad (not me) went supposedly for his first CAA medical and was quite nervous, some assosciates who sensed his nervousness, wound him up about what the Docs did, poked and prodded etc. They also told him when he went into the loo with his sample cup, he was not to wee in it, but provide a sample to show that he was fertile. He did and had to be sent back by a red faced nurse to the loo to produce a urine sample......

bobbin88

LOL pablissimo. Can you imagine?! haha. I'll be extra vigilant at my medical for sure!

goodcopbadcop

PapaYankeeGirl

I hope i dont pee on my hand:o

goodcopbadcop

Me and a girl had medical at same time and we both had to go in to give our samples, was kind of funny coming back out and sitting down beside each other, both of us holding on to our wee bottle of wee

PapaYankeeGirl

How embarrassin?!?!:o Was there not a distinct smell of urine in the waiting room??

FootyFan24

Hey guys,

just a quick question. I've heard of a few people being failed at the medical on weight reasons. Does anyone know what sorta max weight they allow in, or if its more based on bmi?

pablissimo

I have a friend who used to work in the Lab reception of the local hospital and was forever gettin warm bottles of Lucozade filled right to the brim with samples, so that it was bound to spill when you opened it....euuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

And she had a time too when an old fella from the country turned up at the hatch and said, presenting her with a sample "There's me Daddy's pi5h!"

OK it is lunchtime....no more wee wee humor.....

Not really it was a tiny sample, and it was in a sealed bottle.

The question about the weight, they can fail you for BMI over 30. If you are a fat mess, lets be honest they will turn you down but if you are BMI 30 and its obvious you have a low body fat and are muscley, then you wont have a problem

thank god for that. i think im about 26.1 or so, tryin to get it down, just worried about how strict they are!

goodcopbadcop

You will be fine. I was worried about it as well, I have low body fat but I weigh close to 16 stone most days. Had to up the cardio for a few weeks to make sure i didnt have a high BMI. I think i was said to be offically 26 on the day... My height was measured at 6ft 3 though and im just about 6 ft 1. so that helped maybe.

PapaYankeeGirl

My BMI is 22/23 (different charts=different readings), quite high for a girl. But its within the normal bracket!

pablissimo

At Christmas mine was 35.1 (fat bar steward I know) now I have been reduced to a svelte 29.4 and i'm still losing....no gym or nothing, just sensible eating and drinking (no beer just wine)

I put it donw to an inordinate amount of personal stress to deal with and a positive drive to lose weight for the forthcoming medical.

Now the fatness is sorted the fitness will start to be concentrated on.

Hey guys,

just looking for some advice i have my med on 1st october but work won't give me the time off because i project we are working on is going live and they say they need me in so they have put a complete block on all annual leave for the month of october!! i have rang occupational health and they say i can't change it because schedules are so tight anybody any idea's???

goodcopbadcop

Looks like you have a simple choice. Go for the medical pass it, and almost definitely get in. or stick with your current job..

I say go all in, you might not get another shot at it. if it was playing poker I would say "All in te fuk"

Griffer2

GCBC are you suggesting i pull a "sickie"



i like the way you think lol

I agree with GCBC, if you wanna be a cop, pull a sicky.
If you don't you might SERIOUSLY regret it, this is quite possibly the next 20/30 year of your life your looking at here.

MrsGeneHunt

Pull a sickie. Its a no brainer.

Griffer2

Thats what it seems i'm best to do!! glad to see there are plenty of like minded people on here lol. i gotta take this chance to take my dream career don't wanna be working in the same place next year let alone 20/30years and yes while probably looking at this forum still!!

MrsGeneHunt

You do look a bit peaky!:p

Griffer2

tell me about it!! think i'm coming down with something or other!! possibly a reaction to loss of holiday tan!!! and loss of stomach contens whilst running last night!!:D
