I requested my medical records from my GP after looking through the medical assessment rubric. I am concerned I'll be rejected on the "candidates with recurrent faints are normally graded P8".
About 3 years ago, I cut my finger quite badly at work and fainted. I was still quite out of it when some people tried to help me into a back room, which caused me to faint again. Both faints were less than 30 seconds each.
As a precaution, I was taken to urgent care. All tests they conducted came back as normal, and I explained what had happened. They were happy to let me go. I have not fainted since.
My medical records document this as I have explained, but as an episode of recurrent fainting, which I wholeheartedly disagree with. (The only other time I have fainted was when I was 11 years old going through a growth spurt) I am worried that I will be graded P8 and get rejected.
To cut a long story short, my question is will my medical be given all the context, does that depend on how my GP phrases it on the form he fills out? Will I have strong grounds for an appeal? Would it be best to see a cardiologist as part of my appeal? (I'm trying to think 3 steps ahead)
Does your application immediately cease if you don't consent for the MOD to access your medical records? Can you provide your own medical records instead?
