Carry on doctor – part 7

It seems that the ante-natal system here in Gran Can is running on a good cop / bad cop system.
After the long, long wait and lost test results of the last visit we were decidedly wary for the next visit to the clinic in Vecindario.

We had been to the clinic here and told them about the lost blood results which bemused them as they explained that the tocological unit was in the same building as the preggy clinic in Vecindario and our doctor there should just phone up for them. Hey ho.
We were on time and in the right building. Though for some, unexplained, reason we had an appointment booked for 2.20 pm but had to be at the clinic at 9.45 am. I thought that perhaps I was going to be hooked up to a machine for a couple of hours or maybe the first time was the time you arrived and the second time was the time you actually got seen. We didn’t know so I packed Jane Austen, or at least her complete novels, and a large bottle of water and hoped for the best.

We were seen fifteen minutes after arriving. They took my blood pressure, weighed me and scanned me and that was that. They had the blood results which were all fine, bar a little anaemia, and didn’t even ask to see the movement diary. We asked if we needed to come back in the afternoon and they just looked as confused as we were and told us no.

All in all we were in and out in less than half an hour, much better than last time. I think the trick is to go early before everyone else gets up and before the doctors end up running two hours late.
