Share review of Little Common Surgery
Although my actually appointment did get carried out. I was greeted by the Nurse where I had booked for a blood test at doctors request and a smear test.
The nurse then said you are here for your smear test I said yes and a blood test. She says no I don’t have time to do bloods this is a smear test apt. I explained I had asked reception when I booked to have both done together at same apt. Well she says this apt is 20mins and I cannot do both so which one do you want. I said do the bloods I will re-book the smear test. Nurse proceeded to take my kidney function blood test. After she took bloods she looked at the clock and said I have a little time left I will do your smear. I said okay but now I was made to feel bad that I had tried to get 2 things done in one apt which I did not.
I feel staff need to listen to the patient more this was not my error in booking and I did offer to re-book but basically being told I can’t do both choose which one you want is not acceptable.
I am grateful the nurse did eventually do both but that could have been handled so better.
