Lisa,x Hi Lisa You are not alone. My family has had probs with the meds too, though we knew in advance that there might be a problem. It is far worse when it is unexpected, I reckon, so I am keeping everything crossed for you that whatever is causing the doctor concern is something that can be sorted out quickly. I've been to hell & back again with the meds in our own family, so I know exactly how you feel. I have set up my options on this forum in such a way that you can PM me if you want to. Please let us know how you go. Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nelson Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Were you notified by the Australian Authorities or the G.P. who conducted the medicals? You've got me panicking now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sparky Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Hi Don't panic! it was picked up on the day we went to have the meds done,after going back several times they decided it needed further investigation,fingers crossed it will all be fine.(I can say that now after a few glasses of wine).

Guest scoop Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hi Guys I know it is a worrying time, I've not had mine yet :? A mate of mine who is now out there living the dream 8) She had something picked up on her xray, still not sure what is was but she had to have a couple of extra tests that was all. Just be aware if you need extra test you may have to pay privately. Hope this helps and try not to worry! Yeah right! Good luck with it all SCoop x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nelson Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 We had our meds done in April and doctor said we were five fine specimens which was such a relief in view of the fact that my hubby had MAJOR heart surgery when he was 31... He was one of the first people in Britain to have a Teflon coated heart (yes.. non-stick, like the frying pans!) and we had been very worried all along even though we came clean from the beginning and told an assessor that this was a real worry. I'm still worrying that someone will decide that he's too much of a risk or something but, quite frankly, i'm so frazzled at the moment, it'll be ME having the heart attack!!!!! I hope all you other guys waiting get through ok..... this whole waiting thing is akin to being pregnant... TRA = first scan, Form SK47 = Amnio, last minute hitches= swollen ankles and then, finally and hopefully, VISA = BABY!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nelson Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Great news :lol: .. Actually, don't you think the whole process is quite cleansing; when you get the all clear for medicals, police, update your C.V., clear out the closets... wipe away the cobwebs of life hmmmmmmmm...

I also agree with the cobwebb theory! Going through this process means that when you get to Aus you know that you are completely healthy, character clean and in the clear to go straight into job hunting! All the best guys and congratulations on the good news Lisa! Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rbecca Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I had my medical last October. Problems emerged. It's 8 months later and I still haven't got it all sorted out. If only I had been told to get everything done privately in one go, it would have taken less than half the time. Instead each test has been done one at a time (some privately and some through GP) and when all tests came back in good order I was told that a consultant has to look them over. Since there was actually nothing wrong with the test results, my GP said that she could not refer me to a NHS consultant. I had to get the Australian panel doctor (I think he hates me!) to refer me to a private consultant. This has taken 2 and a half months. I will have died of old age before it gets sorted at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it sounds as if it is all coming right for you now, so you just hang in there babes. You know it will be worth it in the end. :roll: Good luck, and please let us know how you get on, won't you?

Guest lilac Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hi Lisa Was just reading your post. Did you get everything sorted out? What stage are you at with the further tests on your meds. We also had a problem on ours and need to do further tests. Very worrying and deflating isn't it? lilac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lilac Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hello Rbecca I was just reading your post. So sorry to hear what you have been through. My other half has had a letter from the panel doctor to give to our NHS GP to send him for further tests. Then to pass a copy of the results to him- the panel doctor. But he has also said that if there is nothing found on the tests that he will require a consultants assesment and report so it can be submitted with the medical to Oz. After having read your post I am in 2 minds if it is better to save the money and go through the NHS. Especially if you have had probs getting a consultants report. Hope you have progressed with yours, where are you at now? lilac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
