Lea's medical exam for military service

Part 2

**Doctor:** Good morning, Lea. Come on in.

**Lea:** Good morning.

**Doctor:** Have a seat for a moment. I’ll just go over your details… You’re 18 and need the examination for your assessment?

**Lea:** Yes, exactly.

**Doctor:** Alright. Do you train regularly?

**Lea:** About three to four times a week.

**Doctor:** Very good. Have you had any issues recently—for example joint pain, breathing problems, or dizziness during exertion?

**Lea:** No, nothing at all.

**Doctor:** Do you take any medication or have any pre-existing conditions?

**Lea:** No.

**Doctor:** Good, then let’s take a look at you. You can take off your shoes, that’s fine. You can change into your sports clothes behind the screen.

Lea goes behind the screen, takes off her street clothes, and puts on a sports bra and short shorts.

**Doctor:** Please stand here against the wall for the height measurement.

**Lea:** Okay.

**Doctor:** Head straight, look forward… yes, that’s good. … And now step onto the scale, please.

**Lea:** Alright.

**Doctor:** Thank you. Now I’ll listen to your heart and lungs. Take a deep breath in when I tell you.

**Lea:** Mm-hm.

**Doctor:** Deep breath in… and out again. Once more.

**Lea:** (breathes deliberately)

**Doctor:** Very good. Please turn around… and take another deep breath.

**Lea:** (breathes)

**Doctor:** Perfect. Everything sounds normal. I’ll quickly measure your blood pressure. Keep your arm relaxed.

**Lea:** Okay.

**Doctor:** (inflates cuff) This might feel a bit tight for a moment.

**Lea:** Yeah, it’s fine.

**Doctor:** Good, the reading is within the normal range. Now let’s check your flexibility. Please bend forward slowly, as far as you can.

**Lea:** (bends forward)

**Doctor:** Yes, that’s good flexibility. Come back up. Did you feel any pulling anywhere?

**Lea:** No.

**Doctor:** Great. Now I’ll test your knees. Please squat down and stand back up.

**Lea:** (does the movement)

**Doctor:** Very stable. I’m going to press lightly against your legs now—push back.

**Lea:** (tenses)

**Doctor:** Good. Now your ankles—rise up onto your tiptoes.

**Lea:** (does it)

**Doctor:** And back down again. Everything looks normal. Now a quick balance test: please stand on one leg.

**Lea:** (balances, slightly wobbly)

**Doctor:** That’s completely normal. Switch sides, please.

**Lea:** (switches)

**Doctor:** Also good.

**Lea:** What’s next?

**Doctor:** Now we’ll do the stress ECG. I’ll attach electrodes to your skin—it might feel a bit cool for a moment.

**Lea:** Okay.

**Doctor:** (attaches electrodes) Alright, now you can sit on the exercise bike. I’ll adjust the seat height… does that feel right?

**Lea:** Yes, that’s comfortable.

**Doctor:** Good. Start pedaling lightly in a moment. I’ll increase the resistance every few minutes. Try to keep a steady pace. If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or have any pain, let me know immediately.

**Lea:** Will do.

**Doctor:** Alright, let’s start.

*(a few minutes later)*

**Doctor:** How does it feel?

**Lea:** Still pretty good, getting a bit more strenuous.

**Doctor:** That’s normal. Your pulse is rising steadily—that looks good. One more level and we’re almost done.

**Lea:** Okay.

*(shortly after)*

**Doctor:** And… you can slowly stop now. Keep pedaling lightly.

**Lea:** Phew, yeah, that was pretty intense.

**Doctor:** That’s part of it. Sit down for a moment, I’ll evaluate the data.

*(after a short pause)*

**Doctor:** Overall, everything looks very good: heart, circulation, endurance—no abnormalities.

**Lea:** Great.

**Doctor:** You can participate in training without any restrictions. I’ll prepare your certificate right away.

**Lea:** Thank you.

**Doctor:** You’re welcome. And if any issues develop at some point, just come back.

**Lea:** I will. Thanks, goodbye!

**Doctor:** Goodbye, Lea.
