Since I have been here for almost four months, it's time to go to the doctor for a check up and a flu shot. I met two of my Japanese coworkers and we all went together. Apparently, the check up process won't begin until you pee in a cup...a paper cup. After that, the other girl and I went through the rest of the check up process together. They took our blood pressure and then escorted us to the x-ray room, where I had to disrobe and put on a robe since my shirt had metal buttons and it would blow up the machine or something. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how close the robe and I'm pretty sure I flashed someone. You're welcome.
They checked our eyesight, our weight, and our x-rays and that was it. I didn't even get my flu shot. I tried to explain that flu shots in America are given as a preventative, but no one understood. I guess I'm healthy enough to not need one? If I get the flu, I'm going to be very angry. Until next time! またね!
