a view through my own eyes

Once again I had the pleasure of returning to the local hospital today, I am starting to wonder if I should get a season ticket. The bizarre thing is that I feel better now than I have done for several years.

Anyway today I was down there to give a blood sample, which in itself is not a major issue.

I arrived to find about half a dozen people in the queue in front of me, there were two nurses extracting blood, so by my reckoning in and out in about ten minutes – excellent. After a couple of minutes mayhem set in, loads and I mean LOADS of people all showed up, and each one put a docket in the fast track box, these have been issued by ward Drs in the hospital and so they get priority. Which means the riff raff like me had to wait. All in all I had to wait around an hour at which point the waiting area was down to me and a few other commoners sent in by their GPs. When I came out of the nurses room two minutes later the waiting area was packed once again.

I also took the oppurtunity to pop into audiology and request a followup appointment with Dave as the whistling at the top end still isnt quite right. The receptionist was not keen on helping, after suggesting that she actually read the last journal entry on my file she decided that perhaps I did need an appointment as her boss indicated. Next thursday afternoon – sorted.
