"I barely felt the needle going in or out"

About: Aberdeen City Health & Social Care Partnership

(as a service user),

As a medical professional it is often strange to be on the other side of the fence. Also I am sadly aware that people are quick to complain and slow to praise.

Today I attended CTAC clinic at CTAC at Kincorth clinic in Aberdeen for some blood tests. I was seen before my appointment time by a very nice lady who's name I have forgotten. She took my blood with great skill and even had time to chat while doing so. I barely felt the needle going in or out. I couldn't fault her care or skill.

However I have once complaint. I was a big brave boy (I'm in my late 50's) and didn't cry or anything when the needle went in so I would have liked a sticker to show my bravery to my colleagues!! I got one from my own colleague when she gave my my flu vaccine yesterday which only added to my disappointment!

So only 4 stars out of 5!
