It's a routine checkup; blood presure, urine sample, heart rate, flexibility and such....

except they put on latex gloves and feel your sack and stick a finger in your anus. (i just wanted to say anus... anus anus)

Hmm. All this talk of latex gloves and anuses isn't necessarily reassuring me.

Yeah, good one, they can nail kiwiboy up the butt and let me just give the blood. Actually I'm genuinely curious to know I don't have any diseases, and it's always fun to pee in a cup. Do you think that kiwiboy aka camel is stalking me....? He always seems to have the same issues.

Wow! I didn't have anyone feel my bag or stick anything up my anus Shocked ! I feel cheated. Confused I work at an elementary school (the GEPIK program) and had to do this checkup. It was the pee in a cup, blood test, hearing test, color blindness test, weight/height thing. I did find out that one of the things they use your blood for is to check for opiate use. Anyway the whole thing took less than 20 minutes.
Good luck with the finger and anus thing. Have fun.

I worked at a public school (middle school) and now teach at a Private school and didn't need one. However, I was asked to take one for a position at a National University. It must vary job to job.

ps. I was jokiing about probes. Twisted Evil

-hearing test (left and right)
-blood test
-x-ray
Get the results tonight. Christ, a blood test back home takes a week for the results.
