| I've never formally had a physical so when Onions hospital offered one to its employees, I tagged along and got one for free. Seeing as the Chinese medical system records are still done mostly by paper, and without photo ID, I got a physical. My official name is as a relative of Onions. You start by filling out your medical booklet! |
 |
| And it's run as a bunch of stations. Doctors and nurses all gather at the hospital and everything is done in a morning. First stop, blood sample. |
 |
| Onions got us through the short lines first....blood pressure 130/80. Negative on everything else....but I'm not exactly sure what I was being asked. |
 |
| Eyes and ear check. Everything normal. |
 |
| Then things began to slow down. Lines for each station, but they moved. |
 |
| First line was for the ultrasound. No clue what it says. But when the report comes back, Onions will interpret or I'll ask a Chinese teacher. |
 |
| The ONLY time something was computerized was the bar code sticker for my chest x-ray. |
 |
| I forget what happened here. I figured out that this was the "surgical" report. I think this is where the doctor felt my glands and had me swallow for him as he felt my throat. |
 |
| The quickest EKG scan ever. Onions had his printout at 9:58:56. They had him off the table, I laid down and had the sensors on me and my printout was at 9:59:24. But more importantly, what's going on with the bottom graph? Why is there a big huge weird bump? |
 |
| The doctors interpretation..... |
 |
| Last stop....I think was internal medicine. It's the one with a stethoscope. |
Once we finished at all the stations we turned in our booklets, like turning in a final exam, and we'll wait for the report. Total time? Two hours.
