[QUOTE="Lainie71, post: 2595891, member: 535579"] That's a bit harsh to be honest. It is not always a case of swallowing your pride and get things done. I arrange for the earliest appointment first one of the day. I have to be masked up to the hilt and sit there shaking with sheer panic and doom, ocd running into overdrive! Please don't think its JUST a case of "swallow your pride and get the test done" it is not always that easy when you have health anxieties on top of other mental health issues which can physically stop you. I know I have been there, still am and although I have had my tests, I have cancelled them and re-scheduled that many times I have lost count. I have also on many occasions bolted, run out of the surgery explaining that I cannot cope! This has been marked down on my records that I walked out which was not the case and vehemently fought to get it changed on my notes. Covid is still out there and for some people the safety of our safe space is all we want despite the tests etc we need to take. [/QUOTE]
