Hospital appointments

Just got back from hospital appointment for blood test/venesection/prescription fulfillment. The place and staff were calm as a can be, half full carparks & free parking, and the dispensary working at a 5 minute turnround rather than the usual 30.

All in all a delightfully calming experience for me and I hope anyone else with upcoming appointments has a similar outcome.

Stay chilled all.

Andy

Me too Andy I had my blood test and cross match and type done for my transfusion tomorrow.

I am transfusion dependant that being the operative word.

The staff at my hospital all calm as well.

I know that tomorrow I will feel completely safe.

Glad you had a good experience too

Hi Andy, yes I had an appointment last week and experienced a chilled time, like you. In fact compared with hearing/seeing the news no matter where you go, it was great. Kind regards Aime x😻

Perhaps the terminally scared are avoiding anywhere they think the unwell might be. Running out of mini aspirin so I'll find out tomorrow.
