medical for new job

commuterised

my husband has to get a medical for his new job, does anyone know what exactly they look for or check in a medical and does the offer depend on the outcome of the medical itself??

Are you sure he has to take it? It is a standard item in a lot of contracts, but in many cases the employer will not enforce the clause. This happened me recently, I was actually looking forward to getting one, but my boss told me it wouldn't be necessary.

Me too. Just had to feel out a form saying "I'm not sick". Was sorta looking forward to a free check up.

well it's not free, they told him the name of the doctor he's to make the appointment with. It is written in his contract.
so noone knows what goes on in a medical then?

Last one I had, fairly standard stuff. Checking your hearing, your pulse, your breathing, your sight, your back/posture. Just basic stuff really to make sure you don't have any serious illnesses or problems that you neglected to mention (and will claim on the insurance for afterwards). Or if you need special changes made to your work environment (special chair, desk, monitor). Don't think it affects whether or not you get a job, it's just so you can't make claims afterwards without telling them about it now.

As far as I know anyway

Was reading the other day about Athletic Heart Syndrome. That could cause a few questions if some of the people here did a medical http://www.cdc-cdh.edu/hospital/cardio/art5.html
