What's up with CHKD??

So Tuesday was the day that I had my physical for work and did all my paperwork for Human resources. Monday, Tom, the human resources rep, sent me an email with all the paperwork for the next day and told me to print it off and fill it out and bring it to my appointment. No problem right?? Well, our printer isn't hooked up yet apparently from the move. So, I called Lee who was in DC working and he said he didn't know where the power chord was so I couldn't print it till he got home. Well he wouldn't be home till long after my appointment so I emailed the guy back and told him I didn't have access to a printer. I didn't check my e-mail again till the next day and it told me to arrive one hour early to my appointment to fill out the paper work! One hour early? I immediately jumped in the shower and headed to downtown norfolk..only 30 mins before the appointment. NOW, I know why he wanted me there an HOUR early..there was so much paperwork. I was trying to fill it out really fast..that was not easy. CHKD sure does do things differently than Carilion..but that's probably a good thing. So She calls me back and I'm thinking ok, going over paperwork and getting a physical. So we go over all the paperwork and then she's like here's where you're going for your physical and hands me a sheet of paper with the directions on it! It's not even in the same building! In fact..its not even in Norfolk it's in VA BEACH! Ok so I get in my car and head over to Military highway to find the clinic. I then had to fill out another CRAP TON of paperwork before taking my drug test. By this point I had to pee sooooo bad because I'd been holding it for the other place! When I go to take the drug test the lab technician couldn't have been a day over 18. She was literally sitting there talking up a storm. She was gawking at my ring and wanted to try it on..um no. She told me a lot of information about the patient before me..um hello? Illegal?! and then she took my pee and ran away and left me to figure out what to do next! I go back to the waiting room and nurse calls me back and takes my weight and then ASKS me what my height was..she didn't even measure me?! OK?? Then I did a vision test and she asked me if i needed a PPD. Um, I don't know you're the nurse doing my job physical why dont you tell me?? I said yeah I guess because I had a PPD every year for my last job. She doesnt say anything and starts walking away and then turns around and looks at me like I need to follow her. RUDE! She pointed to a chair and told me to sit down. I guess I was going to get the PPD. All of a sudden this korean lad comes at me with a tourniquet and I can tell that she's getting ready to take my blood. I said "Is this for a PPD??" she said no I'm taking your blood. Thanks for telling me, NURSE Know-Nothing! (I don't even know if she needed to take my blood for all i know she thought I was someone else) then the other nurse came back and did my PPD. BTW they BOTH bruised me and I've never gotten a bruise from either! they sucked! Then I went into a room and waited for the Doctor. All I can say is Chester Molester he was creepy..glad it wasnt a gyno visit..geez! He made me jump up and down, squat, raise my arms up and down, and stand on one foot with my eyes closed. He made me lay down and asked me if i had been tanning with new bulbs..I said "no, I went to the beach." He seemed distraught that he was wrong. Anyways he left and the stupid nurse came in and made me fill out yet ANOTHER paper about latex allergies. ALL in ALL i was very displeased with my experience and then come to find out..THIS OFFICE WAS NOT thru CHKD! THANK GOD! I didn't want to work for a company with such bo-bo people!! Apparently this is just one of the places CHKD uses as their facilities for new hires. and then it hit me. Duh, I'm not a child. Why would I go to a CHKD office? I would be seeing a pediatrician! FOR the LOVE...
