Every foreigner who is applying for a residence visa longer than 11 months has to have a medical exam before they are granted the visa. This means going to the one building in your city during the 3 hour span that they are open and standing in line for a long time. You move from room to room to get your vitals checked, an ultrasound (to check your kidneys, liver, spleen), an ekg, an x-ray, your ears, nose, throat, and vision checked, blood and urine tests. It's pretty thorough.
Aaron really enjoyed the health exam. Standing in line, he thought of all the funny things he could do or say while going from room to room. After he had the ultrasound done, he asked the nurse if he was pregnant. She did not laugh.
Here are pictures from the health exam - and ask Aaron about it sometime. He tells about it in a much more interesting and elaborate way.

Aaron, sad that he has to take an ultrasound
or maybe it was because the lady didn't get his joke. |

the other wall to tell him about the sign right next to me. |
