[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1721780, member: 345386"] [USER=206249]@Diakat[/USER] - When I saw one of the partners at my surgery when I broke my leg (OK, I exaggerate, I turned my ankle!) a few months ago, I asked if I could have the paperwork to sort out my annual HbA1c as it was just about due. He printed off the form and as he was handing it to me, gave me the usual chant or "call in 5-7 days for the results". I reassured him it was OK, I'd look online and do self-service. He had absolutely no idea. No idea that such a system existed, never mind that people would want to do that, rather than ccall and go through all that pleading nonsense. He thought I'd lost the plot, until I explained it to him. Fortunately, I usually see another Doc who is much more savvy. Spoke with her Tuesday this week, bloods drawn Wednesday, and most of the results online to view by yesterday lunchtime. Just the Coeliac and thyroid profiles to come back. Sometimes I think we live in parallel universes. [/QUOTE]
