    Medical Question

    Hey guys,

    I'm new to the forums, will have my medical coming up soon however about 5 months ago I was sent for 6x 30 mins 'counselling' sessions by the doctor following a bereavement in my family. I wasnt on any medication at all, and im totally fine, I didnt really need the sessions I only went to make my folks happy.

    Will this go against me for my medical?

    Cheers

    Probably not. Unless the medical examiner finds anything wrong, they probably won't even speak to your GP
    If you wait a few minutes, there's someone here who is actually a Doctor, he'll be along in a moment

    Declare everything, it will be on your med doc's probably considering a doctor sent you in the first place. Mike777 isn't yet serving so his well meaning advice could bite you in the arse later on.

    I'm sure Angrydoc and our resident recruiters will agree but if you weren't prescribed any meds I'm sure you'll be fine. You wouldn't want to get booted at Raleigh for fraudulent entry now, would you.

    Wrecker's right. It took them about seventeen years to discover that I was a mental and by then they couldn't be arsed to kick me out.

    Everyone's a mental. It's the degree of mental that matters.

    It can be ace in the good times.
