question not related to OC, but is necessary to ask in the Tn. section instead of the General area

Could any of the LEOs out there in Tennessee tell me what the medical physical consists of when applying to a police department? While not anti-leo (I'm anti-abuse), I am interested in corrections or prisoner transfer with a nearby Sheriffs' department, but I'm not a particular fan of doctors.

Physical fitness requirements would not be a major issue for me--I am heavy into physical fitness. The problem with me--I just can't stand going to the doctor.

if it is inappropriate to post here, please forgive--but this is for Tennessee only, as I am sure that other states have different requirements.

if you choose you can PM me instead of a general reply.

I'm not a LEO, nor have i ever portrayed one on TV, I suspect that due to insurance issues, you will have to submit to some sort of physical examination prior to being hired.

Sorry, you're going to have to go to a doctor for that.
