Mine wasn't. Probably depends on where you have it done.

If it varies i may ring around and ask.

Incidentally how long does it take for first medical to be pass/failed? I assume blood work and samples have to be sent off etc.

String

i had mine done by a guy in swansea, and the test's that they did are for a full blood count and a haemoglobin test.

He's a good guy and cheap but does the full range of test's.

i will pm you his name and contact details if you like.

Can do - i've been recommended one in Swansea by a few others so maybe the same guy.
Will just see if its a full needle job for the tests - if it is and no alternative i may just accept the fact i wont be able to work in the UK diving.

It's a pin-prick, unless you get the doctor who served with the Ghurkas, then it'll be the blade of an 8" Kukri drawn across your palm

Had mine done - definitely involved needles and blood extraction. Although it didn't hurt it was still mentally one of the worst moments of my life!

Would recommend Mike O'Kane in Swansea though - very thorough and friendly.

It's not the needle you want to worry about it's when the rubber gloves and KY (YK?) Jelly come out.

If the Marigolds with the 'improved grip dimples' come out then ........
