When you need your swimmers checked out in Calgary, this is probably the place you have to go.
This medical building is all related to pregnancy, reproductive issues, and similar medical concerns so everyone is there for many of the same reasons which makes things a little less awkward in the elevator.
I showed up for my appointment about 15 minutes early and was greeted right away. I was given a cup and a laminated number and pointed to a door. On the other side of the door is a small hallway with a few numbered rooms. The room I was issued was about 4' x 8'. It had a chair and a sink and an empty magazine rack asking you to put the materials back when finished. I'm guessing with today's technology they don't need to supply the materials anymore.
On the back of the door is a coat hook and some basic instructions on what to do. Things like "wash your hands" and "wipe everything down when you're done". You know, instructions that you think would be common sense, but I guess in a clinic like this you can't take any chances.
When finished, you take the sample out to reception and put it in a basket and fill out a little piece of paper. A tech from the back was right on it and came out almost immediately to help me when I came out with my cup.
Overall a quick and painless, though mildly awkward situation that was done with professionalism and ease. read more
