Medicals.. uuurrrggg..

Neps

Well, after spending the whole morning at the doctors, having blood drawn, getting weighed, having my eyes and hearing checked and just doing the normal 'please cough', I walked away feeling fine! The only funny look was when the doc asked me if I smoke and I answered 'smoke what?' and then had to clarify 20 sig's a day.

This got me thinking why I paid so much money, and why I went on my last diet.. According to him I'm underweight.. ? At least I did find out that my sarcasm was shared by my nurse and X-Ray Technician. And the physio that had a look at my one knee was quite cute! So maybe it was not all in vain!

I did an ear test last week on an empty stomach. I missed a few of those beeps when my tummy growled in that sound proof box.

Hahahahaahahahah. Reminds of when in my final matric exams my stomach was growling which caused much giggling around me.

I'll be forced to take medicals in a week or two. I'll be playing in Dubai for a couple months in a couple weeks time, and it's pretty much like walking into a church-country...

I've had to stop smoking couple weeks ago...now that's an inconvenience ?

Dubai.. and you should stop smoking.. weird.. But jip, those medicals are a royal PITA. At least I didn't have to stop smoking, but my doctor did look at me with a look of dissatisfaction for being a smoker.

Dean, then that's the last thing you should worry about, they have lots of very interesting stuff they stick into those hookahs. I'm sure you won't miss a thing!!! ? ?

OT: Yeah I used to smoke hubs with 'em pretty much every day (every second if there wasn't any ingredients)

UAE is pretty strict though, don't want to take chances :/
But I'll definitely be coming back with a tub of hub tobacco ?

Styles

Uuuuuuuurg, that's the right expression!!!! I had to do my flight medical last month and it IS a royal pain. . . at least i'm not smoking any more so it went smoothly ? Hey Dean, watch out for those hookahs man, apparently they're not as harmless as most people think(Traces of lead is found in the smoke, from the pipe linings i think) Insane flavours though, ever seen the Red Bull one? FREAKY!

Yea, guys, the fun starts after 40 when they give you the "finger". Bummer! (pun intended).....oh, and the kleenex they give you is not to wipe away the tears....ha ha!

DonovanB

Joop I believe its worse when you feel the finger and 2 hands on your shoulders....

There's some songs that deal with such matters. Jackson Browne wrote some extra lyrics for the Reverand Gary Davis's "Cocaine".

I went to the doctor, down at the hospital
He said 'Son it says here you're 27, that's impossible
You like you could be 45.'

Or Loudon Wainwright's "I went to the doctor"

I went to the doctor and the doctor said
'Son you look older than me and I'm 71
You're falling apart and not living right'

I went to the doctor and the doctor said
'Loud, you've got to stop hanging out
With that old in crowd
Living's a battle and you're losing the fight.'

I went to the doctor and the doctor said
'Boy, your body is a temple, it's not a toy
Fill up this here paper cup and give it to the nurse'

I went to the doctor and the doctor said
'Friend this should be the middle
But it could be the end
You better get better or else you're gonna get worse'

There. Don't you feel so much better now?
