What does your doc do at your physical?

I've never had a yearly physical, it's not a thing here.

It's kind of old-school to do urine and most people really don't need an EKG. It doesn't hurt, though, so just ask to have those done.

Blood and urine test. I get my pap from my oncologist in a separate appointment.

EKG and blood. And my pap, but just every few years. I'm not sure if the EKG is routine for everyone, but I get it.

Once I turned 45, an EKG was done yearly. My insurance covers the entire cost of a yearly physical with my PCP and OB/GYN so I have no out of pocket costs.

Part of my benefits through work is an "executive physical" whatever that means. They are VERY thorough to the point of being annoying.

It is based on your age so some of my colleagues get much less. For mine (i'm 45), I get bloodwork, urine, ekg, hearing, vision, and lung capacity. I skip the female part of the physical because I do that with my ob/gyn.

The clinic ALWAYS call me afterward to tell me that I need to see a doctor right away because my blood sugar is elevated. No kidding, dumb dumb. It says right there in my chart that I have Type 1 diabetes!

I just had my yearly physical yesterday. I actually question how useful it is, but yet I still go every year. Usually it involves full panel of bloodwork, but the doctor said because I was healthy, had no changes from last year, no complaints or concerns, and my bloodwork numbers from last year looked good - there was no need to do it this year, unless I wanted it. I decided to skip it and I was left with the impression that the bloodwork really wasn't that useful anyway. I do a separate yearly with my gyno.

This - plus, looks at throat, ears and a pap every 3-5 years per recommendation.

This year I had to go to a new doctor. He measured my weight, height, blood pressure, and asked if I drank, smoke, drugged.

His nurse tried to take blood several times but said "oops" twice and after several tries I told her to stop.

I felt rushed and like it wasn't thorough enough.

Blood and urine. No EKG.

I have a team of doctors that take care of me. So a physical isn't really an issue. I have a gyn, but it's more convenient to just do it w/my internist, since I have enough appointments in my life and won't be having kids. If something showed up abnormal I would go to my gyn.

I think urinalysis checks kidney function. I'm T2 so important in my case. I've only ever had one EKG back when I was 22 and had to get a flight physical when I was in the Air Force. Funny that that physical pickedvup on high blood sugar years before i was diagnosed T2. My subsequent test was normal, but i always say it was a sign.

Never had a yearly physical - it's not a thing here. When I go to the dr (probably once a year) she does blood pressure check and weighs me. I would only get blood work done if there was an issue she wanted to check. Exception would be I do get cholesterol checked every 2-3 years and this year when I had some pre-surgery blood work done she also did thyroid, blood sugar and a couple of other things that she thought would be good to do. I'm 54.

IMO no need to have an EKG unless you have heart problems or suspected heart issues. I did have one once (28 years ago) when I started a new job in the UK but that was to get onto the company's health insurance policy. In New Zealand my experience is that something like an EKG would just not be done as matter of routine - you'd probably need a referral to a cardiac specialist.
