Hi Guys,
Well the medical is in two days time!
I had the opportunity to take my blood pressure last night as a friend had a home test kit.
Anyway, I had never bothered taking it before but when i took it last night, it was 158/97, which i understand is a bit high.
Will this cause me...
Thanks Carter,
It is a job that I really want to do and it would be such a shame to fall at the final hurdle.
How do I send PM's on this forum?? (off topic i know!)
Thanks
Micah
Now i'm properly nervous guys! :(
I have my appointment for the medical on the 03rd of March at 10:30.
As part of the questionnaire it asks about stress etc. I was made redundent at the end of 2008 when the company I worked for went bust and the whole year was a bad year, leading to me...
I will, and thank you!
If I pass the medical, I start my training on the 10th of May, and I CANNOT WAIT!!
My BMI is around 25/26 and i can see/hear ok, so i'm hoping i will pass!
Thanks guys,
I always intended to declare it, but people can be so judgemental if you have had to take anti-depressents for whatever reason, and i dont want to be refused employment as this is my dream job, (sad i know!)
Hi Guys,
I received a call today saying that subject to a medical, i have got a job with Southern Railways as a conductor :razz:
However, i have a quick question. I have recently come off a mild dose of Citalopram, which is an anti-depressent.
It may not even show up in the drugs test...
