Well, I should have just gone ahead and eaten something.

Yesterday I mentioned that my company had made a mistake by scheduling a barium test rather than a GI camera test. Turns out that wasn’t a bug, it was a feature.

It also makes me wonder how concerned they actually are about my health. Since I already know they are not, in fact, concerned about my health beyond “are you physically capable of turning up for work” all I’m left with is a belief that this was an actual attempt to harm me.

The health check scheduler dismissed what I though was a mistake with “well, the GI camera test costs extra but you can totally pay for one yourself if you want one and we’ll totally schedule it for you.”

This means I could have eaten something or could have just waived the exam at the start of the process and insisted they send me to a nearby clinic. Since the nature of the exam seems to change from year to year, I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to to that next year.

I’ll save this year’s emails and roll them out next year. Mind you, I already know what the response will be: that was then, this is now. A year later then will be now as things change again. This  will happen even if the health check scheduler doesn’t change.

Either way, I’ve got two weeks to wait before I see if I’m actually healthy or not. Not that anyone actually cares.
