We were holding bags from IOM. IOM stands for International Organization for Migration(http://www.iom.int/jahia/jsp/index.jsp).I remember going for medical check up at IOM office. 4-5 of us (all guys) were lined up against the wall. The doctor told us to drop our pants and cough. ( We were in the 20s and 30s.) Now, I am a physician myself, I am not sure what conclusion to draw regarding the conduct of that physician. I guess he was just trying to be efficient in processing as many refugees as possible in an allotted time. We did not really feel offended but were embarassed a bit.
