Lost Blood Tests

"Lost Blood Tests"

About: Orpington Hospital

Attended phlebotomy clinic on Friday 16 February 2018. Had to take 93 year old mother with me as she has advanced dementia.

I could hardly walk as had seriously inflamed and swollen knee. My GP wanted blood test to determine if it was gout or a flare up of my psoriatic arthritis which I have suffered from fo over 20 years. I waited 90 minutes as department was very busy.

To cut a long story short I was informed by my GP on Friday 2 March that Orpington Hospital

have lost my test results and I will have to repeat the tests before they can determine the best treatment to help me.

Thanks very much Orpington Hospital for prolonging my pain!
