000052 Physical Examinations
July 25, Monday.
The time is about 10:00am.
It took half an hour for questions and answers interview.
But it was extended by almost another hour with special counseling.
Ms. Aia and Ms. Narumi was still waiting at the lounge area.
And gave them a comfort hug for waiting for hours
"I'm back everyone."
"Welcome back!"
"Welcome back!
How's the interview and the doctor?"
"There's nothing much to say.
But the doctor is my type."
"Really?
She didn't do anything?
"Did what?
We just enjoy ourselves though?"
"That's fine if there's no problem."
"Where should we go next?"
"Oh yeah.
Let's go to the Sampling Test next.
Which is just nearby.
This way please..."
Then we went to our next destination.
Then we arrived at the 250x40m Sampling Test area.
It had Sampling Laboratories around which will took various samples for testing.
Semen test is not included in the sample.
It was separated due to the increasing value of semen.
And will be a part of Reproductive Test in the afternoon.
There is only 5 laboratory clinic with 50x40m wide area each.
But it is divided into
30x30m wide Reception Room where most patients samples are taken.
With a 30x10m wide public like Toilet at the side.
Where patients can get the urine and stool samples.
Female nurses are also allowed inside.
Since it's not normally use as a toilet.
And 20x40m wide Examination Room.
With many tools and equipment for testing every samples.
Where only staffs are allowed inside.
The waiting lounge is in the reception area capable of accommodating 100 people.
Since there's no doctor.
It's the nurses who will get the samples from the patient's.
Other than those samples that other patients can get.
Though the patient can still ask for help if necessary.
The process of getting samples is fast other than getting the examination results.
The samples will be forwarded to the laboratory.
Where the technicians will examine each samples and print the results.
The technicians are like laboratory researchers.
And dress similar to doctors with laboratory coat.
Might as well call them laboratory doctors.
"There are 5 Sampling Laboratories.
Which laboratory would you prefer?"
"Is there also favoritism here?"
"Even if you say favoritism of the patient.
Most men went for male nurses though.
But it's always crowded."
"Are the staff also separated by gender or age?"
"Well...
Not really.
But sometimes you might noticed some difference.
Like that crowded laboratory for example.
There are more male nurses working over there.
But the technicians are all women who don't interact with the patient."
"Then that one who seems the fewest?"
"There's only one male nurses in there.
Due to limited number of them."
"Even if it says limited.
There's only about 3 or 4 male nurses on the other laboratories."
"Then why didn't they made it at least 2 in each?"
"They are not permanent in one place though.
it depends on the management where to put them.
Specially in some places where they are needed like emergency rooms.
And they are also being ask as a guide which remove them temporarily from their job placements."
"What about the difference in female nurses?"
"There's not much difference though?"
"So...
Which Laboratory do you want?"
"I'll prefer more females."
"Then it's the fewest then.
Let's go."
"Right?"
Then we went to the laboratory with fewest patients in line.
The
While the fewest only
When I went inside.
There's only less than 10 patients waiting in line.
The crowded laboratory had 50 men waiting for their turn.
We went to the reception.
The receptionist ask if I'll need another nurse who would take samples.
Since I had a guide nurse Ms. Aia and Ms. Narumi with me.
I'll have them take it.
We were given one 20ml test tube like elongated bottle with cap.
And I was ask the size of syringe I want to use.
There's an option for 10ml and 20ml syringe.
The option seems to be like test of courage for men.
Most choose the 20ml syringe for getting blood sample only once.
And no one uses the other.
So when I ask for the 20ml syringe
Both my guide nurse seems want to do it.
So I changed to 2 10ml syringe.
Both were surprised though.
It's only a syringe.
I remember my previous life.
3 of my female cousins were also a nursing students when I was still an engineering student.
They ask me to become practice table for inserting the needle.
While drawing only few blood as much as possible.
It was a little hard and also a little traumatic though.
Having both left and right pierced at once.
But I'm glad that there's no secondary damage like blood loss and infection.
I was also ask for the needle hole size.
There's an option for 100, 200 and 400 micrometer needle.
It seems there are many choosy males.
When blood is drawn into the syringe.
The bigger the needle size will also means better blood suction.
And also faster to be filled.
Many men wants it faster.
So that their fear or pains ends faster too.
The difference is also almost twice faster than the smaller size.
But there's also disadvantage of having bigger needle.
That is the suction power is twice powerful too.
Which gives a feeling of being drained.
That's why most of the men were shrieking like a girl when drawing the blood in the reception hall.
At the side of the reception.
There are 8 small tables with chairs where blood samples are taken.
In front of it is the waiting lounge.
It seems they are performing it 4 at a time.
And the other 4 are for guide nurses to use for their partners.
The men in the waiting lounge are already pale and nervous.
While watching the blood being taken or the needle being inserted.
Some men were afraid and had to cover their eyes.
Some also fainted..
Then we went to the vacant table and chair.
And my guide nurse were holding the 2 syringe and a 20ml blood bottle with cap with my name written.
There's already cotton soak with alcohol in one container on the table.
And also a tape dispenser.
After sitting down and placing my hand.
The two were arguing who will be the first
So I had Ms. Aia first.
Then she ask me if she should take the blood from the left or right hand.
So I answered left.
Since it's not my dominant hand.
Then I place my left hand on the table.
While exposing my vein near the elbow.
She first look at the vein first and inspect the correct position.
And treat it with the soaked cotton with alcohol.
Then place the syringe with needle attached.
And it slowly sunk into my skin.
Then she slowly pulled the syringe butt.
And the blood was drawn in.
After filling the syringe.
She treated it again with the cotton.
And she was replaced with Ms. Narumi.
Ms. Aia poured the blood to the bottle and put the cap.
Ms. Narumi also did the same.
But retain a new soak cotton at the end.
And attached it with a tape in place.
The first sample is completed.
And they submitted the blood sample at the reception.
Then were given again 2 elongated bottles with my name similar to the blood bottle.
One had a cotton swab for mouth swabbing.
And the other is empty for placing hair samples..
Mouth swabbing was taken by Ms. Narumi.
And hair samples were taken by Ms. Aia.
Then submitted to the reception.
Then I was given 50ml bottle with my name for urine sample.
And another elongated bottle and one cotton bud for stool sample.
Apparently the cotton bud will be used to swab my anus.
Then put it in the elongated sealed bottle.
Since it's embarrassing to ask for help.
I went alone to the toilet.
After filling the bottle and putting the samples.
I submitted them to the reception.
It was all over in almost 15 minutes.
Normally it might take 30 minutes due to some reluctance.
Or problem with getting samples such as urine.
The results will be released in an hour.
So we'll return and pick up the results later.
Then we went for the Body Test Area.
Where the Examination Laboratories are located.
The Examination laboratory examines the inside of the whole body.
But they also takes the body measurements.
Which includes measuring my blood pressure, weight and height.
And other measurement like visual acuity and hearing strength.
There is no penis measurement.
It seems to have been part of the Reproductive test.
Since most male don't get erection unless during dedication or with strong stimulus in private place.
The Examination Laboratory is similar to the Sampling Laboratory.
The only difference is that patients can enter the Examination Room.
Where the examination equipments are placed.
Tools and equipments used are also different.
The Reception is where the body measurements are taken.
Examination Room is where the full body is examined.
"Is there also favoritism in this Examination Laboratories?"
"There were."
"Would you mind telling me?"
"Well...
Similar to the Sampling Test Area.
There's also 5 Examination Laboratories here.
With almost exactly the same room structures.
Though equipment and procedures are different.
There's also more male staffs here than the sampling laboratory.
However...
Even though more male staffs are concentrated here due to the procedure of light dressing.
There's still a laboratory where there's only female staffs."
"Ho?
Does it mean that there's more male staff here than the floor with Male Dedication?"
"Yes.
Male Dedication rooms doesn't require many male nurses for help.
Because they can do the Dedication on their own.
There are still some men who ask for male hands."
"Then why is there a laboratory without male staff?"
"It's because most female staffs are veterans.
And old enough in their late 30s to 50.
Though the ones above 50s are placed in desk works.
And are avoiding too much movements, stress or heavy duties as much as possible."
"Is it from around age 38 to 50?"
"Sometimes there are some staffs of mid 30s.
So which laboratory should we go to?"
"The female ones of course."
"Then let's go over that laboratory."
We went into the female only staff Examination Laboratory.
There only few male patients.
About 5 people in the waiting lounge.
4 others were being measured by matured nurses.
Well..
If men don't like waiting too much.
There's no problem here.
We went into the reception.
And was given a form to record the measurements.
Then we went into the unused table with a chair with measuring tools.
Then started recording.
First is taking blood pressure with the mammogram and stethoscope.
Then weight and height measurements.
Then visual measurements.
While look at the letters on the wall.
And reading them aloud while covering one eyes and vice versa.
Then hearing test which listen to the sounds with a headset.
And speak every letter or numbers in decreasing volumes.
Next is Smell test while smelling a tube with different levels of smell of one type each.
Next is taste test which samples a very small circular tablet like candies with the basic taste in different levels.
All the measurements were recorded in the form.
Then after completing the basic measurements.
I went to the Examination Room.
Ms. Aia and Ms. Narumi were able to follow me.
In other Examination Laboratories.
Female nurses aren't allowed except for male nurses.
Since it requires undressing the top for the scanning machine.
The Examination Laboratories are all populated with doctors of different specialization.
The doctors job is operate the equipments.
And find any abnormalities inside the body.
While scans are in progress.
Since all parts of the body is examined.
Multiple specialization is required.
The doctors here does not give a direct medical care.
But they'll give advice of consulting a doctor related to any abnormalities.
Unlike machine like MRI, X Rays and ultrasound..
Which are separate equipments.
The scanning capsules use a more advance scanning methods.
Which is like an upgraded MRI.
MRI uses only Hydrogen in the body to detect and visualize the body.
The scanning capsules use not only Hydrogen.
But also detects carbon, oxygen, iron and other elements that can be found in the body.
Which increases the detection and scanning capability.
It scans the whole body.
And automatically pinpoint for anomalies or abnormality.
The results are very precise and accurate.
It does not even requires doctors to verify the results since it's automatic.
But verification is still necessary to find any non detectable problems.
That may lead to future changes.
But it's not that much concerning.
This is one of technological innovation of this world.
It's fast, simple, safer and cheaper to maintain.
But more complicated to make.
It also requires less electrical power.
After entering the examination rooms.
I was told to remove only my upper clothes.
Including any metallic elements such as belts.
Though it can be left alone.
It will require adjustments to differentiate the objects from outside the body.
But for faster scanning, undressing is necessary.
Then I was brought to one of the free capsules.
And told to get inside.
It had a bed like structure inside.
Much like from some scifi film.
And doesn't need to be mechanically move like the MRI.
The space is also smaller than the MRI.
With only few cm of space.
But it's not cramped.
And it seems to be adjustable based on the user body size.
The door was closed from the outside.
But can also be open from the inside.
Then after 5 minutes.
The capsule was opened.
And I step outside.
There are about 20 capsules inside the laboratory.
And several capsules with patients inside are being scanned directly.
The monitor was displaying the scanned body similar to MRI.
But unlike MRI with shades of black, gray and white.
The display had different colors such as red, blue, green, black, white, gray and almost all colors.
Similar to colored anatomical charts.
The scanning is also done not only in horizontal slices.
But also vertical slices.
Which can easily make it easier for the technicians or doctors to see and evaluate.
Then after finishing the scan.
The capsule was opened.
But the data is still stored in the computer.
Then it was also uploaded to the database as part of the digital profile documentation.
I look at the monitor of the adjacent patients.
The doctor seems to be focused on the red or blinking states detected.
But it seems most of them are concentrated at the lower area.
It seems that there's a problem found in the reproductive organs.
And one of the doctor said it's normal but below the standard.
Probably it's the penis and balls they were referring.
After dressing up.
The results seems to have come out.
But still being printed.
There are about 20 printed page with 8 different image slices of the scan.
It's a summarized printout of the scan.
Similar to a full body MRI results but in colored pages.
Though it's also possible to ask for the data for analysis of other doctors for consultation.
It doesn't requires me to do so.
If there's any body anomalies.
The anomalies will be circled with red in the resulting image.
Though it can also be reported while undergoing scan.
The printed results was immediately verified by the doctors.
And deemed to have no abnormalities.
A written report will also be made by the doctors.
And it will be ready in an hour.
So we'll return and pick it up again.
The whole examination normally takes only 30 minutes.
But I finished everything in 15 minutes.
Then we went to the Fitness Test Area.
Which measures the body fitness and capability.
We arrived at the last examination room.
However...
It was only an open hall like a gymnasium.
The area is a about 250x40m wide.
There are exercising equipments, weight lifting and other equipments.
Apparently it's similar to the physical fitness class
But equipments are used unlike the fitness class.
There's a reception at the entrance.
And we were given a single form for recording.
Including a basket with change of clothes for exercising and sweating.
The basket had a blue knee length short and a white shirt
Including a black shoes and socks.
An instructor nurse can also be asked for procedures.
But my guide nurses are also applicable as a substitute.
Most instructor nurses are women.
Then I went to the nearby changing room and change my outfit.
Then I put my dress and shoes on the basket.
And store them in a locker room near the reception.
Then we went to an open area.
First is body stretching.
So that my body won't get sudden stress.
The exercise I need to perform and record are:
Number of push-up and sit-ups on the soft mat.
Speed in 50m dash and 1000m run on the treadmill.
Distance in vertical jump and long jump.
Weight in weight lifting.
Everything is just a simple exercise.
But the men may feels like having a hellish boot camp.
Since the time is already past 11am.
I decided to wrap up everything fast.
I was able to do 100 pushups and 100 situps for 3 minutes each.
I was able to run 50m dash in 10 seconds
And 1000m run for 3 minutes.
Vertical jump for over 2m high .
And Long Jump of 4 meters in 1 minute
Weight lifting of 100kg in 1 minute.
Everything was completed in just 15 minutes.
Which would normally takes an hour due to long resting in between.
Both Ms. Aia and Ms. Narumi were cheering me on the side.
And also counting my progress loudly during sit-ups and push-ups.
It was noticed by everyone in the surroundings.
Specially when the count exceeds over 20.
Which is already above the normal average of 15.
And they get more excited.
The other people was watching over me while exercising.
There are men other than me who was also measuring their capabilities.
30 of them are chubby.
10 are overweight.
3 are too slender.
10 are normal.
And they were all breathing heavily.
They are here for their yearly test.
The treadmill had safety hanging belt for men.
Similar to safety belts of extreme sports.
It was used to prevent men from tripping or falling down on the treadmill.
Long jump also had the same safety belt.
The weight lifting barbells also had a safety support.
Which prevent the barbells from falling downward and directly hitting the men.
Morning test are finally complete!
