My self gave medical for OTA. We were recommended from 17 SSB Bangalore, we were 8 candidates, our medicals started immediately the next day.
Day 1 ---> venue - command hospital air force, Bangalore, we reported to hospital by 8, there were also candidates from different entries because Bangalore board consists of 3 SSB boards, 1 for NAVY and 2 for ARMY. We were asked to report empty stomach, everyone is asked to attend medical day one with empty stomach for ultrasound. Today we had to undergo 4 tests, blood, urine, x-ray and ultrasound.Blood and urine test was done quickly . After giving blood and urine, we had our chest x-ray . After this we had ultrasound.
Day 2 ---> the next day we had dental. Then we had surgical, everyone was asked to remove everything except underwears, After looking at my hands, shoulders, the doctor asked me to turn around and touch my toes, after this he asked to remove underwear and spread the butt cheeks, then turn around and cough.
Then we had eye checkup done. There were all in all 8 tests done. First was to check refractive errors, there is a machine were you keep your head still and look at an image of house which would sometimes be blur and sometimes very clear, we were given a small slip which noted the readings, no one knew what the values meant, but, still we saw each other's slip. Then we had eye pressure test, same thing as before but here you look at a green light and suddenly a burst of air will come that's it. After this we were asked to read the alphabets, and had color blindness test, then had test of squinting eyes, at last had a field test, where you close your eyes, look straight to the doctor and he points random numbers in fingers at different areas away from your straight field of view. The eye doctor checked us again in all this and even had a retina test, later we all were asked to be in a Hall and were administered some eye drop, soon we weren't able to read anything within 2 feet from our eyes , with this we again had retina test in dark room and we came out of eye Dept.
Day 3 ---> we had out ENT today, just checked for ear wax checked nose, throat
Finally my report came in, everything was normal in blood. After this, I went ight to medical division. I was 1 kg underweight for my height of 180cm, chest was normal, BP was abnormal but the doctor adjusted it to normal. A doctor checked everything but asked me to do a PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) and PEFR, both were normal and I was declared fit.
