An armful of blood.

Well you'd have to give a list of your tests in order to substantiate that claim, something you'll not do so it's pointless making the claim.

Have you never heard of patient confidentiality? (Plus it was one large tube full, for a multiplicity of tests. Which I won't know about until tomorrow when the specialist nurse phones me up with the results.)
I also do not trust private medicine with my medical records.

Not where I live. (Just for a laugh I checked about getting the multiplicity of test and checks I am scheduled for privately. I would have to travel to Plymouth, pay an arm and a leg, and one of the checks can't be done privately.)

And the NHS isn't  ?

Not a chance on principle. Private medicine is run  robbers in suits.

You should have gone private papa .

The shortage of blood testing vials must have ended.  I got a subpoena from the local medical practice to attend to-morrow at 09.45 hours for blood tests that had been delayed because of the shortage.
I will also be tested to see if blood is still flowing through my feet.
The other tests tests required I can do for myself before I attend the appointment because I have all the necessary kit myself.
I hope the nurse will refrain from asking me if I am depressed.

You should have gone private papa . The nurses at  the private hospital dont ask you if you are depressed they ask if there is anything they can do for you .  Oh and they have plenty of kit
