Bloot testing

Story from nhs.uk

"Bloot testing"

About: Brentwood Community Hospital

Anything else?

Extremely unhappy with the general attitude of the phlebotomist I saw. She questioned why I was there despite me explaining that I had been told to have a blood test by the midwife I saw at my booking appointment then questioned why I had gone there rather than Queen's as I am under Queen's for my ante-natal care even though my midwifery care is at the Community Hospital. She talked to me as though I were a naughty child been caught in the wrong place and made me feel I had got everything wrong even though I was only doing exactly what I had been told to do by my midwife from the same hospital!
