It is once again Health Check season. We got to start the year off with a staff-wide physical. We did this last year as well, but I didn't make it through the full check. Last's year's program was scheduled for 9:00 - 12:30, but all the English teachers had to teach from 9:20 - 12:30, so we only got through the first half of the check.
Turns out we had skipped the EKG and chest X-ray. I knew they were coming, but somehow I hadn't really processed what that meant.
All I can say is that everyone who came out of the EKG room looked a little traumatized. Mostly because nobody had told us what would happen. All they had to do was hook up sensors and check your heart beat, but that required full frontal nudity. Not a problem if you know its coming. When an old woman suddenly and swiftly yanks your shirt up, though, its a bit of a surprise.
After that we headed to the X-ray van in the parking lot and hugged a giant metal box for our chest X-rays. Creepy, but not so bad.
At least is over with.
