The Doctor

We had to go to the doctor yesterday for a check up. As far as I understand it, its a mandatory thing for employees every two years. There is the chest x-ray, eye check, ear check, dental pictures, height, weight, urine test, blood test and blood pressure. Its quite the system they got going on there. They tell us whats wrong with our mouths (usually that we should floss more, like every good dentist would say), give us our ph levels in our urine, our blood pressure, etc.

Supposedly in a few weeks we will receive some mail from the hospital. It will contain a health score out of 100. Last year when other Connexus teachers went they were told they were over or under weight, or other helpful things like that.

I'm curious what my score will be. There's no real reason for this post. It was just an interesting experience. They have a whole system set up where you take your form from one room to another and have another thing checked. It was rather efficient, with one exception. The urine test was rather weird, we had to take a cup to the washroom and after we filled it up, we had to walk through the waiting room, where others are waiting for their check ups. No lid or anything with full potential to slip and urine everywhere. Luckily it didn't happen.
