This is the first time she's seen this doctor. I didn't realise that lithium required regular bloods taken. That isn't something my wife would have an issue with as she's had a lot of blood taken in her life. It might, however, be something the phlebotomist would have an issue with as her veins are a bit...lacking these days. Lol.
