Saturdays car boot sale went well. I
raised a total of £27. It may not seem like much but that almost covers
the cost of my Yellow Fever injection, which is £31! It was a
beautiful day and I have sun burn to prove it. On tuesday I have my
Yellow Fever and my medical examination.
I had my Chest
X-ray - a visa requirement - on Friday. It was an interesting
experience. I had to remove all clothing from the top half of my body
and put an open-back gown on. To make me feel even worse, the woman in
charge opened the door while I was still getting changed, with no
warning. As I entered the x-ray room, the first thing she said was "you
paid yet?" in a snappy tone. Way to prove its all about the money.
The
actual x-ray was simple enough - stand with your chest against the
metal plate, arms back, hold your breath. It was over in seconds and
before I knew it I was putting my clothes back on.
I
then headed to reception to pay the £55 fee. I hope the nurse noticed me
cringe as I handed over the money. After a little wait, I was issued
with my report. Easy as that. And thankfully, I don't have TB, a heart
condition or any other life threatening disease. The report simply said:
No enlarged heart. Unremarkable lungs. No focal lung abnormality to
note...
