Medical Experimentation

Our tax dollars are at work with a visit from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2005-2006. They took blood and are going to store some for DNA analysis. There goes my life of crime! I passed on the treadmill test because I am still so sick, but got to join the "take my blood pressure" a thousand times test. Apparently they are testing various methods of taking BP. They also measured some joints (like the length of my leg from the hip to the knee is) but not others (no interest in the knee to the ground). Or perhaps I missed one of the tests.

The bonus is that they pay actual cash money for the pleasure. "Ask not what your country...." my ass, I took the money and will enjoy spending it unwisely.
