Its O.K. Hawker, yer can live with it, I do.The examinations don't hurt - just live a sensible life.
The only major down side for me was I had to give up sailing for two years until the Doc was happy that the temperature shock of going over the wall would not kill me outright.
Don't know why - given the choice of floating in a life jacket hoping to be picked up, or a clean termination. Well you choose !
Best of luck

Old fishermans joke.
"And how long would you live if you went over the side in these waters ?"
A/. " Ten minutes if your lucky - or two hours if your not !"
