Message: <blockquote data-quote="Squire Fulwood" data-source="post: 1090254" data-attributes="member: 44622">I once got a letter saying I was to see my GP about the results of a blood test I had. Once in his office he said, "And what can I do for you today?" I told him I had come as bidden to hear the results of my blood test and he said that he didn't understand. I thought I wasn't being clear so I went over it again and he said there weren't any blood test results. I said that I had given blood so I was surprised. He phoned the lab who said that they binned the blood because the paperwork had a name  on it that didn't match the name on the test tube.It's not the **** up that got my goat it's the fact that they thought they had a result and this generated a letter and an appointment and I was actually in the doctor's office before anyone knew what was going on. My sister holds the record in that they lost three of her samples of blood. All this is by way of saying that you needn't panic. They may well have just tipped your sample away.</blockquote>
