So! I'm there at 7am. Doors to outpatients locked. Staff start rocking up at 07.10am. My appointment is 07.05am. Eventually get called in at 7.15am. Made a point of mentioning the bloods were important as I was going for a procedure at 9am. Gave me great pleasure watching the phlebotomist running with my bloods to path lab. Sometimes I wish I was still working there!!!

Phlebotomist... Always struck me as an odd word, @Cleoriff 😆

It is @pgn 

From ancient Greek ϕλεβοτομία (phlebotomia – phleb blood vessel or vein + tomia cutting) via Old French flebothomie (modern French phlébotomie).(Wiki)

The actual procedure is venepuncture. I suppose venepuncturist is a bit long winded

Hope all went well with the procedure @Cleoriff 

Phlebotamist...one who studies little itchy critters?

[Cleoriff]

Not as good as usual @jonsie  but after a good sleep I feel fine

Have a laugh - you've earned one, it's Wednesday!

Another trip out for me this morning. Really living the 'high' life since lockdown ended

Mind you, I'll be going nowhere Friday, Saturday and Sunday. F1 is back in Portugal!
