Extended well-child and well teen physicals
Boy, 13yo, North Am, external tests and endoscopies through all body openings
I am male. It happened in North America. 1970-1979, 13 years old. I found out when I arrived. Wasn't given any information. My parents drove me to the exam at a regular hospital. A selected percentage of the children in my community had it.
PREPARTAIONS AND ANESTHESIA
I was not allowed to eat some time before the exam. I got laxatives at home to clean out my stomach the day before the exam. I got a traditional enema before the exam to clean out my stomach. I was totally naked through all the procedures. I had to take my clothes off just before I got anesthesia and the staff helped me get naked.
They placed me upon a simple examination table. I was placed to lay on my back with staight legs and on my left side. I got IV tubes into blood vessels in an arm. I got a device on a finger or a toe to measure pulse and oxygen in my blood. I got a blood pressure monitor wrapped around an arm or a leg. I got electrodes on my cheast. I got a tube or wire in through my urethra. I got a tube or sond in through my anus.
I got anesthesia through tubes into my blood vessels.
EXAMINATION WITH EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT
They performed an EEC (electroencephalogram) - functional test of the brain with electrodes on the head. They performed an ECG functional test of the heart function with electrodes on my chest and other body areas. They performed an analysis of my breathing and oxygen uptake where I had to breath into a tube.
They examined my head or neck, upper body, stomach area, shoulder area, hip area, arms and legs with an ultrasound device or something similar.
They took x-ray pictures of my chest, stomach, shoulder area, hip area and limbs.
They used electrodes to record functions at my head, chest, belly and limbs.
They examined my genitals with an ultrasound device. They had electrodes at my genitals to record functions in this area.
INTERNAL INSPECTIONS
They ispected the inside of my nose with a scope They took specimens from my nose with a tube. They inspected the inside of my throat with a scope. They took specimens from my throut with a tube.

They inspected me through my anus with an ultrasound probe. The doctor explored my anus with a finger. Uncomfortable .
ARRANGEMENTS AFTER THE EXAM
They gave me mechanical ventilation through the breathing tube. I had IVs into blood vessels. I had electrodes on my head. I had electrodes on my body. I had catheter into my bladder. I just lay some time in a bed to recover. I lay naked under a blanket after the exam. Rested about 2 hours, mom took me home after getting dressed
THE SCHOOL I ATTENDED
I attended private boarding school.
COMMENTS
It looks like the boy was conscious at the beginning of the exam, but got general anesthesia with artificial ventilation at some point.
This is a standardized procedure used on kids in selected communities in all parts of the world. In some communities all kids go through it. It happens most often around age 7, 12 and 16.
The procedure is generally held secret for the public majority and will usually come as a surprize.
It looks like these procedures are coordinated by an international unit, most probably WHO. The purpose is a detailed surveillance of the health and development of kids around the world.
But special institutions, like boarding schools and child protective units, also use the procedure to get a detailed knowlege about each kid.
From the story it seems like all children in the society for which there was a concern had the procedure.
On this website, they are talking about 13-year boy who happens to have an external test as well as endoscopic surgery throughout the body. Anyway thank you for providing to help understand Peter Veres about the situation through this website which would be helpful for many people
