Experiment done!
Thursday, May 11, 2006

Well, as most of you would remember, i've posted something about this experiment,
and today, i've finally done it..

Trust me not, it's not really quite an easy way of earning money.. what i did was.. just to sit down there.. getting poke by the nurse with a nasogastric feeding tube, been fed with some amino acid, giving out my blood sample every 15-30 mins, and stand in front of the x-ray.. every now n then.. n with that.. i've earned 90aud for spending 5 hrs like that..

Aside from the money factor, and how easy it was, i had a weird feeling and impression towards the nasogastric tube feeding process.. it's really weird.. it's not as painful as it seems... Now, allow me to illustrate it, step by step:

1) the nurse will ask you, "which hole do you prefer?" (as in nostril hole ler.. tho it sounded really really wrong)
2) after your decision on which hole to be invaded/violated by the tube, the nurse will then spray some anticeptic into that nostril.. (woah.. it was as bitter as hell.. but it really helps unblocking the whole track.. n kinda cooling too)
3) then, here comes the culprit to the violation of my nostril hole, the nasogastric tube will be taken out by the nurse, with some lubricant applied on it.. and slowly.. the nurse will then stuck the tube into your nostril, once she found the correct pathway.. she will just push it in.. (woah.. trust me, the feeling of it going down like that, isnt good at all.. especially for guys.. as i could feel the tube like rubbing through my throat and touching my adam's apple, and whenever i swallow my saliva, it tickles..)
4) After the installation of the track, here comes the invasion of another form.. the nurse will then pump in the amino acid that has been labelled with minor levels of radioactivity, right into your stomach thru the tube.. (the feeling is again.. pretty strange to me.. it's like without the whole process of tasting, chewing, munching and swallowing, you felt something cold in your stomach.. and awhile later.. you are feeling rather full, as they freaking poured in like 600ml of liquids; *i had to fast the day before, after 10pm, therefore the feeling is pretty much intermediate)
5)Now, the fun part.. taking the tube out.. the process of removing it out of your body is way easier than putting it in, and strangely.. i had a rather strange but hysteric feeling bout it.. dunno why.. and it's kinda ticklish too..

You guys should try the nasogastric feeding method one day too.. it's not pleasurable but.. it's something worth trying.. haha.. maybe it's just me.. If you ask me, the most killer part about this experiment, is the boredom and the amount of blood they want from me.. As in, i freaking stayed there for 5 hrs.. without doing anything constructive.. other than taking in fatty acids and giving out blood... (at least 500-600ml equivalent) Though, they did serve me food later.. i still think i lost way too much blood in that way.. i believe could sell my blood ( O negative btw, if some of you do not know) in blackmarket for higher price if i try..

I had to stuck with that thing for like 5 hrs tho..


Additionally, while standing there and being scanned by the xray.. i could see the structure of my stomach and intestines.. and according to the researcher and the comparison between the size of my stomach and another indian guy who was also there for the experiment.. i really do have a larger stomach as compare to the normal stomach:body mass ratio. Imagine this, if my body mass is M size, instead of possessing a stomach with the size M, i have a XL stomach.. which is not normal but not yet a disorder.. lol.. In my mind, i have this picture of a wira with truck equivalent fuel consumption rate.. hmmm.... that's not quite a good thing isnt it?
