An English Man Abroad - getting blood out for test, no my name is not Stone .
08.00 hours turn up outside La Mata Clinic, a throng waiting outside the doors, no not my fan club, and not exhibitionists in thongs, they were all ill (enfermo) and wanting to get in too.
Sit down in the waiting hall alongwith about 30 other patients, after the stampede when the doors were open.
A Nurse comes out with a table, and a lot of bar code stickers and a name list.
My name gets read out eventually, I hand over my documents from the doctor a week before and my urine sample. She bar codes my papers and I wait by the door of the blood testing room.
Analisis de sangre (not to be confused with sangria, that would definitely be dodgy in your veins !!)
In the room is one nurse on a computer and 3 nurses taking blood from patients sitting with one arm out stretched in each booth of the partitioned table.
Mass productiion, division of labour, all over in 30 minutes, must say impressed by efficiency, 3 phials of blood lighter, not quite an arm full, and no cuppa tea !!! Quite (h)armless really !!!
See if my blood passed the test in a week. Stay tuned to this channel.
Thats all for now folks, medical bulletin finished, next the weather.............. its raining.............makes a change !!!!
