I had a teleconsult appointment last week and set my appointment for laboratory test this coming Thursday. This is under the health card wellness program. They give free meds for those who are hypertensive, diabetic and those with high cholesterol.
My hypertension is very silent, I don't feel any symptoms when my BP goes up. My cholesterol is a bit high. But my sugar is good. Laboratory test is a mandatory every 3-6 months for them to give medicines.
I hope the med tech who is going to extract my blood is an expert. My vein collapse easily.

Oh yes I hope the person taking the blood is okay..recently I had to go to the emergency and the tech made my vein look like a horror movie..she was useless.
I hope your tests is good and that you get the meds.

what a useless med tech. Sometimes it's the doctor that makes a patient sick even if not sick.

@rakski I know how you feel. That's not the fun part when it comes to getting blood draws. I wish they weren't needed, but bloodwork still remains to be the best when it comes to dianostic testing.

I hope the test goes well.
Last time I had my blood taken, there were a couple nurses who were complimenting the vein they found and later drawn blood from. Like "so pretty, so thick". That was weird but also felt nice.
