let's get physical

these are just a few highlights from a 2 hour experience that we will not soon forget...
1. blood test: anyone that knows me well, knows that i have a problem with needles...giving blood in the US is a bad experience...i don't even have a category for this one. they took not one, not two, not even three, but FOUR vials of blood in one shot. i almost passed out.
2. EKG: reminiscent of a jack bauer torture scene - stark white room, one doc, 6 probes around your heart, and metal ankle and wrist clamps...chloe, help!
3. urine test: you try carrying a lid-less plastic dixie sized cup full of pee down a hallway past other people and sliding it across the counter...makes the spoon and egg camp game feel like a walk in the park.
4. X-Ray: doc playin solitaire upon entering the room...nuff said
...and i grew up 2 miles from the world famous mayo clinic.

"urine test: you try carrying a lid-less plastic dixie" Was this before or after they drained all your blood?

1st question . . . what were you doing at the doc's
2nd question . . . when did the camera crew of "You're on Candid Camera" come out?
Sounds like you had a full day.
