Three hours of waiting around, getting poked, probed and prodded. Oh, not forgetting I was flashed at with invisible x-rays. it's the hated health exam at Raffles Healthscreeners.
I have to say, they run a mean money-spinning show over there, the number of ushers/nurses to the number of screening patients is really quite high. There were a couple of these medical tourists as well and they had interpreters following them around the whole morning. Woah, my deluxe package already costs 400 bucks, how much are they paying?
Good news so far:
I think my eyesight has improved.
I can't remember how much fat I had the last time, but currently 25% of me is fat. That sounded pretty crazy until I found out I was in the fit/healthy region, so I'm safe. Phew.
Chest pain is muscular, not a minor heart attack as feared.
Oh and the nurse was so commendable. She managed to draw 3 tubes of blood from a vein that I didn't even know was there. My veins are small so most people just settle for the one and only visible vein on my right arm. She went for the one that is not visible, one shot one kill, no pain too. She is good. I wanted to give her a slow clap ceremony after that.
Hopefully all the test results will come back clear. Please God.
