Filled a small tube with blood today for medichecks. Not done it before. It took ages to fill. Should the blood go solid ?

3 fingers are now bruised and sore! Ouch !

You are meant to shake the tube gently a few times. I also had 3 bruised fingers the first time for monotormyhealth!

The instructions said to invert 10 time, which I did. The instructions said not to shake.

Sorry I meant invert😕

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to meme]

You did it correctly. There is an additive in the tube and after inverting it a few times you can no longer see the blood move.

Thank goodness for that! Do not want to repeat the process in a hurry!

That is why I pay more and get it done by a nurse.

Next time I will.
