I'd love to see a doctor that can take blood without making a bruise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell em to prove they can do better!!!!!!

Oh for someone at my doctors to take blood!

We have to go to the local hospital for our blood tests. Opening hours are 8.30 til 11.30 & 1.30 til 3.30 but you have to be there at least 15 mins before closing time & if there's a big queue they close the door early.

My old doctor always bruised me terrible, and I always preferrd the nurse to take it.

As for being chatty, how nice for someone to put you at ease. More like a friend than someone taking blood.

Good luck to you Ros, hope all goes well for you.

I bruise myself when I get blood taken . The Gp who spoke to me wouldn`t know where to start. Have spoken today to a nurse who works with the Practice Nurses Supervisor -we`ll see what happens next,

Other gp has e- mailed me --no job at the moment , oh well not to be ,Ros xx

Hi rosalyn
I would definately let them pay to upskill you,(It will look good on your cv)go and do the course and then bide your time for the first vacancy you like.

It`s not upskilling.One of the receptionists went on a phlebotomy course last week , she waited months to do it , so how they think I`m going to get one soon I don`t know. Anyway she had 2 1/2 hours of Anatomy , and 1/2 hour taking bloods from a dummy arm which didn`t work,

It`s insulting

Ros, love,


I have just seen this, how pathetic, bruising can happen to any patient, how ever careful you are?


Chin up love, I have met you and hope to again, very soon, you are lovely,
