Passed my conductor medical yesterday. Pretty chilled process:
General health questionnaire (any joint pains, mobility issues, medications etc)
Blood pressure check
Basic eye test
Colourblindness test
Hearing test
Alcohol breathalyser and urine drug test.
Found out straight away I’d passed.
I get serious white coat syndrome in medical environments, I explained that prior to the assessment. They were fine.
I also take antidepressants and that was also absolutely fine, I know that’s a real worry for some people before going, as the information always seems to be conflicting and unclear, but rest assured it wasn’t an issue at all, so please don’t worry! Just be honest about any medication you’re taking, take them with you if you can, it helps.
HR called today to confirm my start date. Happy days! Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions if I can help to allay any worries or fears.
