What is this finger prick? Is it something similar to someone checking their sugar levels?
The Medical Centre I go to (GP) have a policy that you have to make an appointment to get blood test results. However these same results go to the Haematologist as well as the Physician (who oversees the blood transfusions) and his receptionist will give results over the phone. When I know my HB is around 80 I will ring them for results and request to have a blood transfusion.
