Medical Tests

Medical tests can be so stressful. I am suppose to clear medical check up before I can fly overseas as per company policy. So I fasted for 12 hours (now you must be thinking that’s worst part but it’s not for me. I can stay without eating) and visited Ranbaxy for my overseas medical tests. And when I saw the list of test I almost fainted. Trust me there was nothing left to be tested except HIV which they already did before I joined this company. So they asked me to fill up the form which I did as fast as I could since my only target for that morning was to get out from that place. Now here I am waiting for them to call my name for X-ray. Till this it was bearable. In a split second I found myself on the bed and one person with syringe in his hand ready to suck blood out of me. Gosh!!!! What is he doing and how come I am here? Did they medicate me? Nay it was I who agreed to enter that room but I don’t remember all that. Maybe the amount of blood he was taking out from my body made me forget everything happened in last ½ hour. He removed 4 test tubes of blood from me and he didn’t even pay for that!!! Does he realize how much effort (I mean eating properly) I have to put to get back that lost blood? Well after sucking my blood like leech he asked me to proceed for physical examination. I thought it won’t be that bad but surprises are always waiting for me and the moment I opened door and entered physical examination room doc asked me to weigh myself. After seeing the weight it looked like I got an electric shock I lost 3 kg and I am down to 40!!!!!!!!! Doc didn’t seem to miss that too. She gave me a good nice lecture on healthy life. That lecture seem to be never ending for me and I thought medical check ups are complete No No to me but how can you escape these if you are going overseas (damn these company policies). Well these reports are valid for 6 months so by the time I gain all the blood I lost they will be ready to suck it again. But for 6 months at least I don’t have to see those needles.
