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.
