It's so not as bad as I thought it would be. Besides the being felt up and stuff. And being there for 2 hours it went rather well. My blood pressure was really high the first time she took it because i was on the verge of an anxiety attack.. but after laying down and resting she rechecked it and all was well. I dont know why I always sike nyself up so much to a panic. Im just glad its over with.

Things they check: Height, Weight, Vision, Ear, Nose throat, a few touches here and there across the abdomen and back, Urinalysis(which i tend to pee all over myself trying to do), HIV test, and blood work, plus a chest xray.

also if you are a female they check your breasts.

PS.
None of this is covered under medical insurance.. All out of pocket.

I think that we should require exams before people enter this country (USA)

The difference is that in Canada, an unhealthy person becomes the country's problem. In the states, an unhealthy person pays for their own health care or rips off the hospital/doctor.

Im pretty sure that to immigrate to the US you have to also have a medical exam. Dont qoute me on that though.
