The other thing, is, if they ask if when your last period was, say, last
week.
(or they assume you are pregnant and won't treat you). Plus you will in
for a pregnancy exam.
(what idiots! )
And if they ask when your last "pap" was and "physical", "mammogram", or
"pelvic", say 6 weeks ago.
Or they will stick everything they can, into every hole you have and
take pictures of it.
Also dental.
Sh-t.
Next thing ya know they will be requiring yearly head x-rays.
