thank you january no i didnt manage to read this before i went back to see the nurse, but lucky for me she was good at her job not saying the other nurses werent, she put the blood preasure cuff on first pumped it up not quite as hard as you would for a blood preasure result, and then went to the side rather than the middle of the inner elbow,
i also took my eldest daughter for a routine blood test but she wouldnt do this with out recieving the letter from her other doctor who she sees her at the clinic for her meds, as she is a new paitent at this surgary they would rather not do it untill they recieve this letter, she told me to ask for her when i rebook the appointment
