Its a small world! I think it might depend on your place of employment as to whether or not they make you have a physical. I'm a nurse so they do make us get physical exams. This last place tried to schedule me for my physical the day after they made me the verbal job offer, before they would have had time to get me the paper work with my written offer...I made up an excuse and put if off until after they had the time to get me my written offer. I don't really feel they had any alter motives but I didn't want to take any chances.

My written offer was contingent on my ability to do the job which is cool. I try to be thankful that I can work and have such a great job but it was humilating for me to have to get my doctor to write a note saying that I was fit to do the same job I've been doing at another facility without problems.

Anyway I got the note and it wasn't ever mentioned again. Good luck!
