"Bloods"

The nurses at the blood test clinic are usually very good. they always make sure that the patient is comfortable and are very friendly. The waiting time is never very long and this is helpful for me.

if i could offer some advice to the very member of staff who took my bloods the last time that i attended, please dont press to cotton wool ball down when you are removing the needle. It causes pain to the person sitting in the chair and has left me with a substantial bruise that starts at my elbow and goes down my forearm as well as a cut (as opposed to the near impossible to find hole that is usually left). if you remove the needle and then place the cotton wool ball on top there is less pain for the patient.

As i have stated above, usually i have a very lovely experience at the clinic and will definitely come to have my bloods done here again.
