(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); For those that don't know a heart murmur is an abnormal sound within your heart, although there is a big change of it not affecting you, it still needs to be checked out.

well as some of you know i have just joined the Royal Army i went along to my ADSC (2 day physical,medical and interview) and it took me 4 hours to get there by train, i arrived at 11 am and had a great start talking to everyone, me and a few lads discovered we were slightly colour blind but thats no biggy really.

We then changed rooms and the doctor came through cupped my balls and all that :L, she then proceeded to listen to my heart, she stood up and told me i had a heart murmur and i couldn't continue with my application into the army, i now have to travel to hospital on thursday to have my heart looked at.....by train and that trip is nearing 4 hours aswell, so not only were my dreams crushed but i was sent down to the train station and dumped there I was ok, I didn't cry because i knew there was a chance i could get this murmur sorted, but it kinda makes you feel like crap to know somethings wrong with the thing thats powering your entire body.

this thread is more of a rant than anything but thankyou for reading through this i'll let you know how i get on

You're not allowed in to the army? Thank that doctor, she saved your life.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

As Psychosis Said, Thank Her :y:
