Hi...have just received my form to complete for my driving licence renewal,the last one being 3 years ago and on that occasion I was summoned for my first medical regarding driving and my health. Formerly the establishment have been satisfied with written details only. I think my instincts of expecting another medical this time will prove to be correct and I was wondering what this medical has entailed for any of you folk.
I am in the UK so not sure if it is similar elsewhere.
The gp was independant,obviously,very charming,almost at retirement age but...am I wrong to feel that being asked to disrobe was somewhat unneccessary?
My husband was present,and this gp was my lifeline to continued independance,so at the time,[and not knowing what he was about to test or check] I complied.However,he then left me semi-dressed,sat on the edge of a couch,whilst he stood at various locations around the room,whispering stuff to repeat,to test my hearing.
He then asked me to turn my head one way and another to test my range of vision.
Finally,my arms and legs were manipulated I guess to check for stiffness and rigidity...but do you not think this could have been done fully clothed.

Am I making a deal out of this..I felt a bit of a prawn sitting semi starkers for a good half hour and would like to be prepared to question the gp this time,should a repeat request be made.

I`m a trusting soul and don`t as a rule question much,but have been compromised on a number of occasions and feel more able to speak out these days if something seems inappropriate...just wanted to make sure that I was not out of place in thinking my choice of lingerie wasn`t pertinent to whether I was fit to drive or not.
