Was hard to find. Was on time however unclear to where to go ended up being given different directions, 3rd time lucky. Just about made it on time. Even though I made it completely clear I was exempt from wearing a face covering I throughly questioned with "why" and "what for" a number of times. I am exempt from wearing a face covering as it causes me severe distress however all the questioning caused me just as much distress if not more. By the time I sat down to wait for blood to be taken I was nearly in tears. The only positive thing I have to say is the nurse that took blood was very professional and excellent at what she does, a credit to the NHS. Found it so stressful and soul destroying will avoid going again at all costs until COVID-19 restrictions are completely lifted.
"Very Stressful"
