Drop Those Pants!

It was fun than what I'd expected. At first I thought the medical check-up would be such a hassle; waking so early in the morning, rushing to the clinic, and waiting in line with other patients and stuff. But when we got there together with other people from my batch, it somehow turned into another bonding moment.

The clinic itself was fun, it was like an obstacle course. Literally. They've tried to conserve space by dividing a single floor into two, and succeeded. We were bending, crouching, ducking, climbing, bumping just to navigate from one room to the next. Or maybe it was just me, because I'm somewhat tall. *ahem*

Anyways, I'll try and list the check-ups we've done since they've numbered each step and all we did was follow them:

  1. Cashier/Registration - we weren't told that we had to bring photocopies of IDs and stuff, good thing I have them all with me.
  2. X-Ray - the girls were a bit concerned about how they'd have to remove their tops, while I wounded myself when trying to remove my shirt because my hand struck the low ceiling.
  3. BP/Weight/Height - I'm glad that I've lost weight when I got sick, and somehow it lowered my blood-pressure a lot too.
  4. Urine/Stool/Blood Sample - the girls had a big problem with their urine. We didn't actually give out our stool, we just had to wipe. And the blood sampling (which we dreaded a lot) was actually one of the easiest steps of all.
  5. Eye Check - the chart was on a wall behind me and I read it through the mirror in front of me, at the opposite wall. I wasn't able to read some of the lines anymore, because my head was blocking half the chart (See? Told you I was tall).
  6. General Check-up - girls' side. They seperated the doctors according to gender, because there were some procedures which were a bit intimate...
  7. General Check-up - guys' side. "Drop your jeans and your underwear. Lift up your shirt... hmmm, okay. Turn around. Bend over and spread those cheeks... hmmm, okay. Turn around again. Okay, put them back on."
  8. Psychological Test - fortunately, we weren't required to take one. Whew... we were kinda relieved actually.
  9. Dental - my pearly whites weren't satisfactory... so I had to get 3 of them fixed.

Out of the 7 of us who took the medical, only two got cleared. And it was all because of that dental check-up's fault. Grr~

I really enjoyed the meal we had afterwards...

A fatty BigMac, greasy fries, and sugar-filled softdrinks really hit the spot!

Hunger really is the greatest cook, but I don't want to hire his services that often.
