Yesterday (4 June 2011) me and my friend had medical check up at Siloam Hospital Kebon Jeruk. I was so afraid.. The most scary thing about hospital is the needle! T_T The medical package include : chest x-ray, EKG, ureum, creatinin, uric acid, urine-routine, hematology complete, SGOT, SGPT, Cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, Tryglicerides, HBsAg, Anti HBs, Glucose, eye, ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat), Dental, etc. *sorry, I can't remember them all*.. We have to fast (plain water is allowed) for 10 hours before the check up.
We arrived at the hospital at 8.00 o'clock in the morning. First, we were asked to fill in the registration form.
Then we wait at the medical check up waiting room. The waiting room is quite comfortable.
We were given two containers. The one with white lid is for urine, the other one with brown lid is for faeces.
Then the nurse took our blood sample. At first, I was scared and nervous, my body turned cold -_-a *the effect of nervous, I think* Since I was small, I am very afraid of injection. I never like it. The nurse said "hey, don't be nervous, just relax, it won't hurt".. Everybody told me that it won't hurt and I know it. But I am still afraid of it..
Well, I tried to relax, took a deep breath and I manage to go through it. fiuh... The nurse took 4 small tubes of blood, each tube has about 1cm diameter. The most scary part is over. The rest of this medical check is easy! :p
Then we had the chest x-ray. We have to change our clothes with the one provided by the hospital.
After that, at about 9.30 o'clock, we had our breakfast *provided by siloam hospital*. What I like the most from this whole medical check session is the food! yummy! It's not like hospital food at all *hospital food usually low fat, less oil, low sugar, etc*.. For breakfast, there are fried rice, chicken porridge, bread *I can only remember 3 of them* .. you may choose tea, coffee, milk or juice for the drinks. We have to fast again for 2 hours after the breakfast.
Bread, cheese, butter, meses and chocolate milk for my breakfast
After having our breakfast, we went around the hospital to have eye check, ENT (Ear Nose Throat) check, Dental check, EKG and treadmill *sorry, I can't get any photo of these sessions*
At treadmill and EKG session, the EKG tool is tied up in our body, so you can see your heart beat at the computer screen while doing the treadmill :) The treadmill is then started at a relatively slow "warm-up" speed. The treadmill speed and it's slope are increased every three minutes. Each three minute interval is known as a Stage (Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3). Thus I completed these exercised for 3 x 3 = 9 minutes. The nurse record my blood pressure during the second minute of each Stage. *the socks and sport shoes for treadmill is provided by siloam hospital*
Well, we completed all of the medical check at about 11.30 o'clock.. We wait for 10 minutes (fasting for 2 hours after breakfast) and then the nurse took our blood sample again. But this time, it's only a little bit of blood from the fingertip.
And then we had our lunch! You can choose between 3 options for the lunch menu *provided by siloam hospital*.. It's Chinese, Indonesian or european food. I chose european food and my friend chose chinese food. Both of them are delicious! :)

I asked the nurse, how much this package costs? She said it is about 1,4 millions *because this medical check was provided by the company, so I don't have to pay*..

Siloam Hospital's Services
Overall their services are great! The nurses are friendly. The facilities they provide are also great. But the medical process is a bit inconvenient, because we have to run all over the hospital to do the inspection. It would be better if they can locate all of the medical inspection in one place (one big room with many chambers, maybe).
