"Bad experience"

Went for a blood test. Woman was nice and got the blood quickly but when she was finished she was extremely slow when taking the needle out which hurt alot. Very soon after, my arm started to bruise and get swollen which got worse throughout the day. It's now the day after and I have a high bruise on my arm and it still swollen.

I had had a few blood tests done and noone took that long to remove the needle but this experience was ridiculous

I am very sorry to read of your experience when having your bloods taken. I will feed this back to the team for their awareness. I know they will also be very sorry to read of your discomfort following the procedure.

Kind regards
