Quick question for people who already did the medical for FDNY EMS

If I passed the MEPS (Military medical exam, which they said is the most thorough exam of your life) I should have no problem with the FDNY ems medical right?

Hoow do you think they look at scoliosis ? I have slight curvature of the spine, nothing serious I was able to get into the military, but I know fdny does chest xrays and they will see it. I worked construction, I work ems transport now and volley at two places with no problems, I called fdny and they said its case by case, I'm telling my self it won't be a problem since I am able to work and workout at the gym with no pain,

Sorry about long post

Thanks, I'm sure their medical isn't that difficult, they don't have an age limit so as long as you are fit and not disabled in any way, you're good. That's my thinking, I know a guy who has a prosthetic leg in fdny, he's a LT

Not a 100% positive on your situation but I know a guy who has surgery recently to repair a tear in ligament. All they had to do is get a note from the Dr saying the procedure was successful and that he can partake in strenuous work activities I believe.

I was wondering the same thing. It appears from reading prior posts before Sept's class on this forum that calls started going out about 20 days before the academy started. Happy New Year !!

As long as the month and year are filled in you are fine. I had the same issue. I just put the month and year and then notified my investigator at my intake

Hey, I wanted to ask a question. I took Exam 4004. I had a suspended drivers license because I didn't have the right insurance card on me when I was stopped. I have since had my license reinstated. Am I going to be disqualified for that? Should I just pack my bags in now?
