I had my medical today and I wasn't expecting this due to everything id read on here!
Went in with a nurse and he took my height, weight, blood pressure, my doctors details, bloods, then i signed a consent and declaration form (Inform doctor of outcome, release medical info..)
But then he asked me a series of multi choice questions which he filled in but giving me the options. Questions such as how many drinks do you drink when you drink (a) 1-2 (b) 2-3.... and there was a scoring system depending on what I answered. I scored 3. When I asked what the questionaire was (as I was aware of the standard medical question sheet currently in use which is freely available on the internet) he said this was just a survey and nothing to worry about.
I then went into a room with a doctor who then checked my eyesight (wall chart) checked my liver and listened to my heart and lungs (shirt off!!) and then he went through the medical question sheet that I was expecting.
Has anyone else had this double questionnaire? Seemed like a cross examination to me but it may all be innocent. It did seem that all the info the nurse asked me was going in the mailing packet with the blood test (which he said goes to Kings College London) so the only reason I can suspect this multi choice questionnaire was conducted is because maybe the blood analysis department there are running a separate survey!!
Thoughts and experiences please.
