Dear Friends, here is my new experience during
my medical checkup! My medical was
scheduled on today. I had no idea what tests
they are going to perform, we were only
informed to reach their before 7 am and that
our medical will be completed within a week.
I was only having the address of the IAM
banglore, and that it was nearby to HAL. I went
to Banglore a day before my medical test. I
thought that even this time the IAF Staff will
come to escort us, but this time we had to go
by ourselves. I left my hotel at 5.30 am in morning because
HAL was too far from my place and reached
IAM at 6.15 am
Later then that sir made us to fill some forms
required for the test and guided us with the
locations of various departments. We had to do
following tests:
ENT
Ultrasound and X-Ray test
Dental test
Blood, sugar, urin test
Eyesight test
ECG, height weight test
Gynec test And human engineering for
flying branch
On our first day of arrival
the business of the day started at 8:00 am with
us filling a couple of forms and other necessary
formalities. As usual these form filling take a lot
of time and it was almost 11am by the time we
were done.
Now the funny thing was that we were
specifically told to come empty stomach for the
tests otherwise it will take a day more. So there
we were all fasting on empty stomach. and it
turns out that now a days at IAM there are
no blood test done on first day so no need of
the fasting(which b.t.w. sort of triggered a
sinus pain in my eye, that too during the
medical. what an irony !!!).
After the formalities we were send for the
dental checkup which is done at a separate
premise. In the dental clinic there were quite a
few patients waiting for the doctors, so it took
us around 3 hour time for the dental checkup to
be done. Dental is usually straight forward
affair and unless you have a decaying stuff up
your jaws , its a clear affair. Though it is
advised that you get teeth scaling done and
take care of the decays or caries. Luckily i cleared this with just 15dental point whereas all other were having more than 20 dental points (Fingers crossed)Since it became quite
late so this was the only thing that was done
on the first day.
I found that in almost all department and all the
doctors were hard pressed with the load of the
candidates, the civilian pilots and the patients.
Its really a tough job for them to keep on doing
their job without any mistakes or omissions.
Our lodging was in the Officers Mess and it was
so tiring and hot day after getting the meal at 3
pm that for next three hours I slept deeply in
the cozy dorms.
