[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2281432, member: 345386"] I do find the lack of routine, safety-net work frustrating, on the basis there is the potential we are merely deferring another big problem. If you feel you have bloods need doing, if you can persuade your surgery to generate the papers, you may be able to find a mobile phlebotomist in your area. I know of, and have used one lady here (albeit before all this), but the other day, I passed a parked car with decals saying something like "Michelle - Mobile Phlebotomist". When I got home, I looked her up and she is out there working in the community, with all the gear on. Personally, any bloods I have done are always on a fasted basis, for various reasons, so I would be the first of the day. The lady in these parts charges a very small premium for a test before 08:30. For even more reasons now, that premium would be worth it, as it would be likely I'd be first call of the day. When she came she was only in the house 5 minutes, literally. Very much down to business. If bloods are for NHS labs, the lady I used even takes them away and drops them off, prior to the local collection deadline. In these parts 12:30. These ladies could get very busy, perhaps. (I also ran a google search for "Mobile phlebotomist + my location". I was astonished what came up. [/QUOTE]
