Medicals or how to spend money FAST!

The EOI should have been accepted but remember I am dealing with a bureaucracy so action to reaction may take two weeks.

Call it jumping the gun but I have had the medicals and it is EXPENSIVE.

Firstly I had to download the correct medical form.

I had to go to two different places to get all the medicals done. One place did the chest x-rays, to prove that none of us has TB, (£240) and the doctor did the health exam including bloods. N.B. If you have a BMI of 35+, or are diabetic, etc you will require more test and this starts racking up the costs FAST. For three of us the cost came to £859! The Doctor actually apologised for the cost. Parking cost us another £4.30


Costs to date = £722.00
New Costs = £240+£859+£4.30=£1103.30
Total costs=£1825.30 YOWSER!
