How about a tie wrapped around your underwear? Or perhaps an ascot?

Most appropriate...pair of short..flip flop
You will have to take it all off....so why worry.

As said above they don t really care if you wear a suit or not..dozen of people go in for medicals everyday..and the medical staff really don t care about what you wear.

better things to do.

They might or might not care, but I think the point some people here are trying to make is that being overdressed can't hurt, whereas being underdressed could. I did wear a suit and didn't find it particularly difficult. I would even go so far as to say that I felt well received in the suit and was treated excellent by all there. A shirt and tie at the least is recommended.

The whole medical experience was quite stress free and as long as you a not a drug user or excessive drinker and don't have any major health issues, you should get through fine. Also stay away from poppy seeds as you can test positive for opiates - proved true on Mythbusters.

They are not looking for superstar athletes and I never felt I was being scrutinized under a microscope. It was all in all a very professional experience. Heard back in three business days with good news. Hope this helps.

And one more point: don't ride your motorcycle to the medical.
Having "enjoyed" the Golden-Finger Probe every six months for the last sixteen years, I can tell you it's hard to stop sliding off the saddle on the way home......

Ooowwwwwwww,

Do you purposely request to have "knuckles" do the examination? I would think after 16 years you would ask for a different examiner with smaller digits.
