My gp sent me to the hospital to have bloods taken as I couldnt get down to my surgery in the mornings only. My partner took me after work to the hospital - I am agoraphobic.
I got myselt really psyched up, as I hate hospitals - lots of bad memories, plus just the whole agoraphobia thing, went to the blood tests unit, and the gp had only sent me in with the boxes ticked wrong on the sheet for the tests that I needed!!! :mad: I noticed this and asked the nurses to change for the various tests that I needed but they couldnt without my gp saying! Therefore I had to come back and phone the gps reception to get my gp to phone the hospital. The nurse took my blood for one of the tests.
Things like that really irritate :mad: It makes me lose faith...although I lost a lot of faith some time ago. If gps make mistakes like this, then how do you know what they diagnose you with is correct?
Maybe this post should be in the Complaints thread???
