AI Thread Summary
A medical examination requested for certification of physical capability to enter areas with potential radiation exposure typically involves a standard physical examination and blood tests. These tests are designed to identify any pre-existing health conditions that could be exacerbated by radiation exposure. It's advisable to consult with the future employer for recommendations on where to obtain the examination, as they may have preferred providers. To avoid overcharging, it's beneficial to contact multiple doctors' offices to compare prices, as local clinics generally offer more affordable rates than hospitals. Additionally, obtaining written details about the required tests can help ensure clarity and prevent misunderstandings.

I've been requested to "get a medical examination that includes a blood test to certify that you are physical capable of entering areas that may emit very small quantities of radiation."

What kind of test would this be? what would it include? and would they offer this at a local hospital?

Ask whoever your future employer is about where you can find one. They should be able to suggest somewhere.

I don't know for sure, but I'm assuming it is just a standard physical and bloodwork to make sure you don't have any existing ailments that could be aggrevated by radiation. Most likely just a catch all in case someone wants to sue them later on.

You could call around and ask several doctors offices on the price of similar examinations and compare them. I can't say for certain what the cost might be.
 
I would imagine hospitals would charge a lot more, then a local clinic or doctors office. You should also get in writing, what test they want you to have.

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
