how to appear sick to a doctor

[coolVariable]

A friend of mine has a medical (re-)examination next week for the draft.
(Yes, in the country he lives in they still have draft)
Of course he wishes to avoid being drafted and that's why he has to appear as sick as possible.
He told me they will examine his lungs and respiration (for Asthma or somthing like that, he has allergies etc.).
And they will examine his heart etc.

Aren't there ways to make him appear (really) sick? I don't know.... he doesn't smoke so maybe he should smoke a fat cuban cigar before the lung-tests?
Or he should drink lots of coffee so his heart rate is to high.
Don't they do a stress test? Maybe he could take some pill or so right before the test that increases his pulse even further?

PS: This thread is NOT a discussion about the usefullness of military draft and whether he should go or not! If you want to discuss that go open another thread!

have your friend kill himself.

that will make him seem ineligible for the draft

Eat the Cuban cigar will do the trick!

When we used to have draft here a lot of ppl I knew claimed to have weak knees, back or ancles. All being hard to prove that you don't suffer that. Migraine is also a good one.

Or just go out, shoot a gun, kill a nun... (Dennis Leary in Life's gonna suck)

Have your friend ask Clinton. :Q

tell him to drink a ton of caffiene before he goes. This usually alters the heartbeat into a rather irregular pattern.

Tell him to make a pass at the doctor (assuming the doctor is male).
