Sometimes I Hate It When Arrive Somewhere Too Early

Sometimes I Hate It When Arrive Somewhere Too Early

People who know me as a photographer know I like to be somewhere as soon as possible before a event. It not uncommon to see me at a event 3 hours before it starts. Same goes when I'm meeting someone in the pub etc, I hate being late . I have got in the habit in being early. This has it's drawbacks when it comes to appointments for the doctors or dentist, I like the opposite & do the opposite this was the case this week when I went to see my my doctor.
Now I rarely see my doctor as I consider my myself in pretty good health, I have the odd niggle . But I don't really do illness well, people round me know this.

I arrived moments before my appointment and this to me is too early, & proceeded to wait. Now this was my first visit to the newish health centre where my doc is now based and I have to say it's clinical, but has none of the closeness of the old one. In the waiting room, you have a nice view of another part of the building all of a few feet way through the window,and the chairs are spread out down the room in pods, and several TVs quietly "Bing Bong" then put your details up where you are to go to the consulting room. the pods of chairs dot the space which extends 50 -60 feet or so. and you have 4 pods of chairs.#

I hate these type of places as at least at the old place you had a more closer place to see your fellow sufferers. Where you  have to look round when the buzzer sounds and the expectant looks evaporate as people realise who's turn it is, as everyone shows the numbered slips to show who's next.

Presently my name was called and had to find out where I wanted to go by means of the appropriate signs, all I can say what a maze.

After seeing the doctor and explaining my symptoms I was advised a Blood & Urine test was  needed.
Now in the XX years I have been around Ive never needed something like this. Never even broke a arm. Ok I've had 3 stitches (Long Story) and had the odd scrape but nothing that would a warrant Blood & Urine test.

I have to admit I did singger at the receptionist when she gave me the bag to put the syringe in which will hold my Urine sample in. It has Bio-Hazard on it.

Like I said I really don't do illness well, I know it can be one of a few things, and It may not be as serious of some of the things other people go through. But even so this might have a direct impact on a few things I want to do. & It will have a impact on my lifestyle.
