Liquid Nonsense

At the advise of the people coordinating my China trip I went and sought preventative medical attention. Initially I called my doctor asking if there were any particular immunizations that I should consider based on where I'll be going. I was subsequently referred to a company called Passport Health that specializes in travel medicine.

I made my appointment with them a week ago to get my private consultation on risks earlier today.

I am now a human pin cushion thanks to all the immunizations they keep onsite. I have just been jammed with needles that are supposed to provide protection from Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Typhoid, Polio, and Tetanus. They told me I probably wouldn't have to worry about malaria and Japanese encephalitis based on my travel plans and duration of stay.

As a joke I asked the lady giving me shots that if I behaved really well if I could have a sucker. Oh yeah, I so got a sucker.
