...And my reason for hating them
So I went for a blood test today and then straight after an ECG.
Was panicking loads up till the day but when I sat in the waiting room I some how managed not to panic. I went in for the blood test and fealt anxious but didn't panic again so was glad.
As I was walking out they called my name for the ECG early so I was happy about that save me having to sit down in the waiting room.
Now after that, I was told to wait while she shows it to a doctor and when she came back said I need to see a doctor today and shes put me on the emergency waiting list. This had me panicking a little thinking something was up. 30 minutes went by and I asked the nurse as she was passing can I just book an appointment and come back in the week but she weren't having none of it and said i really need to see a doctor.
Another 40 minutes went by and Im still sat there waiting to be called. So I went to the desk to ask how long is the emergency list and there was another 5 people before me so I said can I just book an appointment and come back so she rang a nurse and I was told I cant. So I had to wait, panicking thinking something is serious becuase no one would let me go and normally they woudlnt keep you like that unless soemthing was up.
After originaly being early from my blood test I had to wait just over 2 hours, I hadnt eaten since 10pm the night before too for the fasting blood test. When I got to see the doctor he just told me what I could have predicted, rapid heart rate and was nothing to worry about as it was a panic attack and for me to book an appointment in 10 days.
I actually cant beleive I sat for 2 hours to be told that, why couldnt I just be told that in an appointment which I was gonna book anyway for when I get my test results. So annoyed. They basically made me panic for 2 hours for absoulutly nothing. :mad:
ps sorry for the long rant ha :laugh:
