Medical Mythbusters

I had to visit the med clinic the other day for a vaccination and I inadvertently went through a round of Russian Mythbusters. 

Myth:  It's only a vaccine, it will be easy
Fact:  no, it won't.    BUSTED

Myth:  The doctors don't speak english but the receptionists do. No need for a translator.
Fact:  Three receptionists, no English.  Always hire a translator.        BUSTED


Myth:  If the doctor hands you a thermometer and just to make sure on where it goes you point at the thermometer, then at your mouth and doctor nods her head to confirm, then be confident that's where it goes.
Fact:  The thermometer goes in your armpit.  Where were you on that one translator???  BUSTED

Myth:  Be concerned of where that thermometer had been before you put it in your mouth.
Fact:  yes, be very concerned.     CONFIRMED
