Today was my required physical exam for the renewal of my teaching contract. First they measured my height and weight (Korea has this nifty machine that whacks you on the top of your head to measure height). Then they measured my bra size (?!?). Then they measured my vision and hearing and took an X-ray of my chest. Then they drew my blood (to test for HIV), and then they handed me a modest-looking paper cup to pee in and told me to bring it back and set it on the desk when I was done. It was the least ceremonious and least sanitary urine sample I've ever participated in.
But seriously, why did they measure my chest? I just can't think of a medical reason for it.

Eughh. Did they do that the first time (was there a first time)?
There was a first time last August, which was mostly the same except there was no vision or hearing test the first time, and also no chest measurement.
Seriously, what's the reason? I didn't see if they measured men's chests too, but most of the physical took place in a public room, and they took the chest measurement of the woman who came after me too. But they didn't measure any other part of our bodies.
I don't get it.
that's weird...
