	Asked by Unregistered (Male; 29; USA ) on Sun 03, Aug 2008 04:18pm
	My future employer is asking me to get a physical. They gave me two pages for the doctor to fill out. The first page is question about previous questions. The second page is for him/her to fill out. It has things like pulse blood pressure, etc. Then it has a space and has headings and lines the headings are glandular system, urinalysis, temperature, hemoglobin, wasserman test, x-ray, and special tests. Will all of these things be done? What are they looking for in urinalysis and x-ray?

These are done as preventive measures and most of the companies go for a previous medical health examination test to rule out any complications and communicable diseases. Best
