Not surprised you are annoyed, but bet the nurse was embarrassed, !

How flipping annoying Binlid, just sympathise with this tale on so many levels.

Don't get me started on incompetence and laissez faire attitude over the Christmas period.

If I was as slap dash at work and inconsistent there would be serious consequences.

Unfortunately our disease doesn't recognise Bank Holidays!

Feel your pain.

I hope you are not made to wait in the queue that takes hours, perhaps quietely remind them that it is a repeat blood test as they didn't process your previous bloods.

I sympathise with you it must be very frustrating, I consider myself very fortunate in that the nurse at my local G.P. surgery take the blood and forward it for testing at the Hospital. I am surprised that this is not more widely available, on the rare occasion when samples have been taken at the Hospital one can expect to wait in excess of 1hr.

Aye I'm the same great in and out in 10 mins,the only problem is going to the reumy consultant 2 hours away,but the west coast of Scotland is great, you wouldn't think we have a fairly new hospital or should I say white elephant😀
