Yesterday I was at an NHS hospital all day.. my goodness in this current pandemic climate the last place most of us want to be is at a hospital all day if we can help it, you can sense how every patient was on edge in the waiting room... however in every possibly corner, in front and behind every door all throughout the hospital were dozens of containers of face masks, and hand sanitisers...
I had to have an ECG... get some bloods done and then be taken in a wheelchair by a porter down to radiology to have a cat scan.. then more bloods, then discussion with the doctor, took 7 hours in total...
Hubs wasn't permitted to stay in the waiting room with me, they weren't allowing any patient to have any support person with them.. so he had to disappear and do his own thing for a while, trouble was he had no idea how long I was going to be so he couldn't go home ( the hospital is about an hour away)... so he had to go and walk around the nearest supermarket to the hospital and pick up some groceries, then spend the rest of the time sitting in the car , waiting for a call from me to say I was being allowed to go home.. no-one thought it would have been as long as 7 hours tho'....
Anyway I'm happy to have had my procedures done.. and diagnosed (we hope) and necessary meds dispensed ..all in one day..
