Making Plans for Tomorrow

I have to go to the hospital tomorrow and get my throat scoped. The hospital has called a couple of times- once for per-registration and and then later to confirm my appointment and let me know that pre-registration was going to be calling me.

Both times, they stressed that I needed to have a photo I.D. with me. I feel like this has happened before, and I don't get it. Why is this? Have they had a rash of people pretending to be someone else, in order to get a free throat scope? Do they think I'm going to skip out and send in a ringer?

They also told me to leave all my personal belongings at home. I don't like the sounds of this. Aside from the obvious conflict of a photo I.D. being a personal belonging, I found this rule to be vaguely disturbing. It's like they don't want any evidence hanging around when things go south.

I feel like maybe I should bring a Sharpie so I can write my home address on the bottom of my foot.
