i had my ns check up yesterday.
boy was it fun. (by the way, this is sarcasm)
i went in at 10 and didnt come out till 330. it was utterly horrible!
first was a photo taking fro god knows what reason. then i had to register and wait for about 40 minutes to take a urine test and my blood test.
(i had to pee on this coloured strip! lol. it was kinda funny).
the blood test was to check for G6PD, some kind of blood deficiency, or something like that.
next i had my dental check up. this is what the dentist said:
'one eight erupted, two eight erupted, three eight erupting, four eight not erupted. good'
how two erupted and one erupting counts as good i'll never understand (though i think its about wisdom teeth).
next had a really cool x ray of my teeth and chest. the teeth x ray was exceptionally interesting.
felt like i was in a sci-fi movie or something.
next went for a routine eye exam. simple stuff, reading chart, colured stuff, colour blindness test blah blah blah...
there was also this hearing test which was the best test i ever sat for! they put you in this sound proof box and make you wear a pair of headphones.
they then produce high pitched sounds through the headphone and you have to listen hard to tell if it came from the right or the left, then raise your corresponding hand.
the test took 20 seconds tops for me! lol. i could hear eveything.
and yet i still misinterpretate what people say sometimes. lol.
next was the horrible full body check up. they took your height weight blood pressure and then told you to take of your shirt while you wait to be called.
oh yea, it was freaking cold! it's like waiting for your turn in any hospital, only with 30 or so other bare bodied guys.
also had my ECG. that was frekin cool! they ask you to lie down and they put blue plastic suction cups thingy on you! lol. really fun stuff!
last part of the physical was the pull down your pants and cough bit. nothing much to say about that...
also took my shoes size for the army.
felt like i was going there already.
so after the physical,it was 12 plus and i headed to the mental part of the whole check up. unfrotunately they told me to come back at 2. great eh?
so i came back at 2 did the freakishly long test (i'm not kidding, it was unbearably long!), came out whacked and shagged and finally headed home.
took a cab by the way. i was so tired and drained.
and throughout the whole med checkup there were TVs everywhere showing films on how freat and fun and utterly exciting NS can be for men! sheesh.
like the check up wasnt enough.
the worst part is the tape kept replaying over and over again once it was done. so technically i saw the whole show for about 3 to 4 times.
infuriating.
all in all it was cool. i mean think of it this way, if i wasnt going to the army i wouldnt have done all those tests. heh.
real optimistic of me eh?
i sicken myself.
