You'd like to think so, wouldn't you? But it doesn't work like that.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostShirley the doctor has to work confidentially? In other words he's only allowed to tell them what you let him tell them.
I went out with a bint who worked in Personnel for a large corporation. There was a 'confidential medical' form as part of the application form for permies, these were filed with the HR records.
So she - and the other Personnel bints - could, and would, pull up the medical records of prospective boyfriends, people who had upset them and so on. She gave me the run down on everyone I worked with. This had included a mental health assessment of one of my own team members: it confirmed he was indeed classified as disabled but safe to work with provided he was only in a non-public-facing role.
Once your employer has your medical details, assume that loud-mouth dick-head at the desk opposite has them too.
Back in the days when I applied for permie roles, they would occasionally include a medical questionnaire asking for details of any hospital visits ever, any body deformities or any medication taken in the past 24 months. Between the Missus & I we would neither of us fill in such a form because there have been things we would not want a colleague to know. I had an operation as a teenager I don't want anyone to know about. My wife's best friend recently had a piles operation - would you want your colleagues to know about that? Would you want the Project Manager to find out you had a mental health issue even if it was dealt with ten years ago? Or a sex-change? Or cosmetic surgery? Or six toes on one foot?
For personal reasons, I would simply refuse the medical and say they can contact my GP if they want anything assessed.If you read the best 3 books in any subject, you'll be in the top 5% of experts in the world.Comment

So, you have a definate medical need for a psychological shake down, and while you're passing the office you should pick up a new ruler, that one appears to be broken....Originally posted by BlackenedBiker View PostApart from the 10 inch todger no, but that fact causes friction in itself

Could I just clarify...Originally posted by BlackenedBiker View PostApart from the 10 inch todger no, but that fact causes friction in itself
a) You have a 10 inch todger and you don't want your collegues to know!
b) You rub it so much it has got blisters? I guess that explains A!Comment
