I'm in good health and don't have any ailments, but I've been told I need a medical certificate for my swimming lessons. Do I need to schedule an appointment just for this, or is there a simpler process to get a certificate when you're perfectly healthy?

Question

How soon after recovering from dengue can I start drinking alcohol again? I've been feeling good for about a week now and my vitals are back to normal. Is it safe to have a drink, or should I wait a bit longer?

Question

I'm feeling a bit under the weather with a cold today, and I was planning to have a drink tomorrow. Do you think it's okay for me to have some whiskey? I'm really curious if it might affect my cold or overall health. I read some places say a little alcohol is fine when you have a cold, but others say it's not. I'm not sure what's best.

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to get a medical fitness certificate because I need one to start at my new job. I know it has to be from a registered medical practitioner, but I'm not entirely sure what qualifies someone as one. Can anyone who's a doctor give me this certificate, or are there specific requirements or types of doctors I should be looking for? Would really appreciate some guidance on this!
