I was suddenly shocked when I received a phone call from the Doctors saying that I needed to come in as something wasn't quite right from my results. I'm just going to point out here that I am registered at the doctors in Andover and I am currently at The University of Buckingham. The travel for this is about one and a half hours, not the shortest journey. Also I am a busy student, so trying to arrange coming back to Andover is very difficult.
However I organised it for today and I went in. Worried silly, trying to figure out what could be wrong. Diabetes, anemic, less amount of red blood cells, too many white blood cells, many possibilities flying through my head.
So, I get called into my Doctor, unbelievably nervous, and what does he say, "Why are you here?". So I replied with "Well I was told to come in to get my results back from my blood test". He replied " Oh you didn't need to come in, you just had an inflammation of the kidneys but that was to do with your cold". For goodness sake! Why can't Doctor's quickly read through results of patients to check if it is needed for them to come in or not. I drove for one and a half hours to be told that I was absolutely fine. Why couldn't I be told this over the phone? Will they ever sort a system out?
