Health Centre

[Matheous-2]

My local centre has two groups of GPs- two Practice Nurses and miscellaneous receptionists. Problem is, because of the nurses questionable skill in collecting a blood sample, I would like to change to the 'other' half of the practise. How can I set this in motion?
I have to say, the nurse in question is very nice as a person, but on the last occasion, she had four attempts on successfully collecting a blood sample....
Usually she can get in two attempts, but I thought four was just ridiculous- this left both arms bruised, and I don't bruise easily.... What would you do?

no, dehydration usually goes with low blood pressure, not high.

some people get blood from me quickly. Then again, I once went to a clinic that did nothing but blood tests and it took four unpleasant hours. In your position I'd do the same: if one nurse does it badly, find another nurse. Good luck.
