Bloods now booked at my surgery, and for a Saturday afternoon, on behalf of my hospital consultant - I have never known the surgery open on a Saturday, except for the special, long queue of covid and flu jabs.
The hospital sends out the blood sample bags, which I then have to take along to the surgery. They've done it before, and they have done it again - they sent two separate deliveries of bags, but not quite the same range of bags. I take the lot in to the vampire nurse, and ask her to decide what the hospital actually wants. Sometimes, one of the bags is for a urine sample, but to know whether one is needed or not, you need to understand the codes on the bags, which I don't. I'd much rather know, and arrive with a sample, than be under pressure to produce one there and then. Why can they not just include the word 'URINE', on the bag label?
Anyone know what the urine sample bag code is?
