Multiple Shots and a Dramatic Loss of Blood

Today came one part of the downside of marriage, or at least my marriage…

For immigration purposes I had to get a few shots before my impending medical examination to satisfy the US Government that I’m slightly cleaner than that monkey from Outbreak. Robyn casually informed me of this yesterday…

Robyn: I called and found out all of the shots you have to get
Robyn: sucks to be you :-P
Gregor Smith: dont tell me :(
Robyn: you can have the shots done at our PCP and then you take the paperwork down to the civil surgeon and get the physical
Robyn: so can I set you up an appointment with the PCP?
Gregor Smith: sure
Robyn: okee :D
Gregor Smith: what kind of shots?
Gregor Smith: gun shot? to the head?
Robyn: HIV/syphalis blood test
Robyn: TB skin test
Robyn: tetnis immunization
Robyn: measles/mumps/etc
Robyn: flu
Robyn: have you ever had chicken pox?
Gregor Smith: i dont think so
Robyn: ok, then you’ll have to get that too

So 6 shots and 2 extractions of blood later I still need to go back for part 2 of my 3 part Hepititis B injections… She forgot to tell me about those.

Talk about suck?

    Crying like a baby……….. Boo hoo

    You should have gotten your mother to get a letter from the Turret Medical centre and that might have helped.

    Very interesting. You had to undergo a blood test just to take some shots. Ha-ha!
