Looks like no-one else is having a go...probably reflects the esteem in
which these medicals are held..
In Occupational Health (Pocket Consultant) Harrington et al it states
"....executive medical examinations are of questionable value. They are
costly to perform, with a low detection rate of significant clinical
abnormalities. It has also been argued that, if there is clinical value
in
such periodic assessments, they should be made available to other
categories
of staff."
However there is a good article in Occupational Health magazine August
2003
Vol 55 no 8 p13-15 of a project at Unilever .it takes the premise that
most
executives do not have a great deal wrong with them medically, and
instead
"gives them tools to be more productive, sleep better, be more alert,
have
more stamina and to deal with stress and pressure more effectively"
(Where do I sign up?!)
Hope this helps,
Diane
