Here certain employers can ask for medical records. But my GP was very good (and chuffed I was teetotal!) and so said she'd speak to me before giving them a report. It depends on the employer what level of detail they ask for.
If I am offered it...I'll definitely take it. It's a good job. Staying away from home will be a challenge to my sobriety but I'll face it as just that - a challenge that I'll overcome. Being away during week is the best I can do for the long term good of our marriage, giving some space and time, and if the marriage doesn't work out then I'll have a job at least (joke, but only a semi joke)

In Aus, or at least in Melbourne, job-related medicals are done by the employer. They can't get anyone's medical records.
I guess you have to OK it, is that right?
I hope all of this works out for you dear Be. The wonderful job and your marriage.

I won't name them but it's with an extremely large and well known employer who do lots of checks and so possibly wouldn't start until January, if I am lucky enough to be successful (shocked face).
Tink you'll have to give me interview tips, what with your 100% success rate!!
Theyll also do medical checks and i rang my doctor when I applied and checked out how much of my drinking career she would have to reveal. Not too much - but enough to make me nervous. Yet again glad to be sober

Have you seen the netflix show The Ozarks....I dare you to be bored for a single second.
A friend here put me onto it and I watched all three series as quick as I could.
Just wow. s
