How long ago was that?Physicals are becoming harder and harder to pass.

My last physical was about an hour but half of that was bp issues.
I think it took about the same amount of time for them to get the card and long form printed out from their system. -
About 3 weeks ago.

My physical was done a month ago.I'm good for two yrs.It really depends on who does the physicals.I had to take vision test twice,at the beginning then towards the end.BP was taken three times.In between everything I did alot of waiting then on to the next part of physical.

Doctors office. Rapped that thing around the arm and boom! 120/70.

It's a good idea to pay for own physical if you haven't had a physical in a long time.
Things that most people fail is high bp or glucose high.
I failed a physical at my Prehire that I traveled to for job after my driving training. High glucose. That was over ten years ago.
Now I take bp and diabetes meds and closely watch my readings before taking a physical. -
That's a good reading.Just always make sure it's done by medical staff rather then say Walgreens.My reading was over the charts at Walgreens I immediately went to my doctor retook it and it was normal.That's when the nurse said portable machines aren't accurate.I was scared because at the time I was scheduled to start a company the next day.The Professional One Thanks this.
