"Very Stressful"

About: St Mary's Hospital (Portsmouth)

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.
