I always thought most employers of full time employees required a physical before the application process was complete. At one time, teachers in North Carolina were required to submit a form from a physician before they could draw their first paycheck. For me it was a blessing. That's how I was able to have a lumpectomy for breast cancer. Things turned out well, but it would have not been found except for that pre-school doctor visit. When my son applied for a job with a Florida library system, he had to go to Florida for the doctor visit. That was in 2000.
