I have been PQ (physically qualified) to go to Antarctica! This might not seem like a big deal to most of you that know me. I am 27 years old, in good health, and like to play outside. However I've never had such an intensive medical examination. After 2 full days of tests and 28 page medical forms, I know officially know that I am 27 years old, in good health, and able to play outside in one of the harshest environments on Earth. Even the nurses were making fun of me for how much blood they had to draw.
The only hiccup occurred when my EKG came back. The doctor told me I was either having a heart attack or I was a 20 something athletic guy. I tried to vote for the second option, but apparently my vote didn't count as I still had to go to the hospital for further testing. After another EKG, the cardiologist at Dartmouth Hitchcock told me once again that I might be having a heart attack or I was a 20 something athletic guy. Thankfully this doctor allowed me to vote and I chose wisely.
