    If it's like the one I had last year, its not very invasive. My one involved (as far as I can remember) height and weight measurements, blood pressure, a lung capacity test (blowing into a tube), sight and hearing tests and taking a urine sample. There may have been others but I can't remember.
    It's just to make sure you're physically capable to do the job and I suppose to make sure you're not taking anything you shouldn't be.

    It really depends. A guy I know who has a fondness for herbs and spices passed his medical. It was a bit of a joke apparently.

    Whereas I recently had to do a medical and they did all sorts of things like an AIDS test, cat scan, drug test, x-rays... all sorts of tests, over 100 in total. OTT and a bit scary but happily I got a clean bill of health.

    Don't worry about it. If you refuse the test you won't get the job so no harm just doing it.
