Health screening and other matters

Had been busy at work these few days. Guess it is the same with those people who are working in the public sector as March is the busiest month of the year -- Financial year Closing!

And for our department, we are having the Health Screening for our staff conducting at our office premises. I know for other offices, the staff will have to go for their health screening at the designated 3 locations.


Why ours is special cos we have quiet a number of staff hence the request was put up and the clinic is fine with it.


Must say this current company is more generous than my prev, for we are given free comprehensive health screening package (which is abt $150 per person). Lot of tests to be done -- from the normal height & weight measurements, blood pressure, cholesterol test, urine analysis, stool analysis to full blood count, kidney & liver function, bone disease, Hep a &B screening, uric acid, ovarian cancer marker, thyroid function, rheumatoid factor, chest xray, ECG & ultrasound.

yah scary man.

having the health screening conducted at our premises makes it convenient to the staff, but it also means more work to some. Had to help out a the logistics side, such as booking rooms, covering the new tables with protective cover sheets. As HR and under staff welfare committee, i was also informed that we need to provide biscuits and milo to staff, cos all off them have to fast from 10pm the previous nite until they had their blood drawn. Hmm how come my prev company din think of that. So i actually learn quite a lot by helping out.

So tomorrow is the day, which i jokingly term is as Hell Screening , (see ppl screaming lke hell at the sight of blood, prepare to be busy like hell). One thing tat colleagues have been talking abt is the container given to use to collect stool sample.

now i am quite surprise that some dunno what is the meaning of stool. (click on it, see the 2nd definitions). Quite disgusting to think of it, we have to collect our sample and put it into the container and bring it to work.

What is nature did not make the call? That was the question most would ask.

Guess many will be praying today: pls let me have "output" by tomorrow morning.

hahaha
