The physical was the same as a long-form flight physical for the military:

Blood work (4 vials)
Vision
Hearing
Urinalysis (1 for labs, 1 for DOT)
12 Lead ECG
Physical Exam (thorough)

I was out of there @ 1300. Having done about 7 of these, make sure you drink A LOT of water while you are fasting. Being well hydrated makes the blood draw easier...along with the Urinalysis. Also the PA doing the physical exam was pretty cute for an older woman

Nothing to worry about, it's for their insurance and HMO (what they said anyway). I've got horrible hearing thanks to the US Navy and the ridiculously loud aircraft I've flown, and they sent me a letter saying to have it checked again but it would NOT affect my employment offer.

Just relax guys...knowledge makes the unknown less scary.
