A trip to the hospital

Don't worry - I'm fine. 

We had to go to get our medical tests for our China Visa.  One week till we leave and we don't have our Visas! 

I will be flying to Xi'an with 3 others from my Cambodia group.  I stay in Xi'an and the other 3 take a bus to their city. 

The hospital seems to be anything but organized.  But just like the way they drive, it seems to work.  Ocassionally you see doctors with white coats on but for the most part everyone seems to dress in street clothes so there's really no way to tell who works there and who doesn't.

First up - taking some blood.  It actually didn't hurt.  Yes, that is a rubber glove tied around our arm.  No band aids - only a cotton ball soaked with alcohol.

Next - Chest x-rays.  This took a while.  There was a guy on a stretcher with a pretty swollen leg getting an x-ray. They couldn't find the doctor to do our x-rays.  We waited around for a while - the guys learned how to say bad words in Khmer.  Always a good time.

 The x-ray was taken with the machine against the wall.


And we're done. Hopefully never to return again.
