30 Days to a better man<br />
2. Weight, height, blood pressure, and temperature. When you first<br />
walk in, a nurse will probably weigh you, measure your height, and<br />
take your blood pressure and temperature readings. They’ll probably<br />
take your pulse too just to check you’re alive and not a zombie.<br />
3. Getting naked. Depending on the doctor, you’ll then probably be<br />
asked to strip down and put on those goofy aprons that leave your<br />
butt hanging out for the world to see. This gives the doc easy access to<br />
examine all of your man parts.<br />
4. Skin exam. The doctor will come in and start checking out your skin.<br />
He’ll be looking for weird moles, paleness, yellowish tinges, rashes,<br />
and dryness.<br />
5. Your ugly mug. Your doctor will check your face for things like puffy<br />
eyes and swollen glands near your throat, which could indicate a thyroid<br />
problem.<br />
6. Open your mouth and say “ahhhh….” Your mouth can reveal a lot<br />
about your overall health. If your lips are cracking and all red, it may<br />
mean you have a vitamin B deficiency. He’ll also take a look at your<br />
gums and teeth to see what sort of shape they’re in. Finally, he’ll look<br />
to the back of your throat to see if there’s any swelling. If you smoke,<br />
he might be looking for signs of throat cancer.<br />
7. Your eyes and ears. The doc will switch off the lights and bust out<br />
some tools called an ophthalmoscope and an otoscope. They’re lighted<br />
instruments used to examine your eyes and ears respectively. Your doctor<br />
will be looking for inflammation in your ears or maybe a perforation<br />
of the ear drum. You also might be subjected to a sound test to<br />
check your hearing. In addition to checking your eyes with the ophthalmoscope,<br />
you’ll probably be given a vision test that will involve<br />
reading an eye chart.<br />
