I'm registering with a doctor (now that I've been living in Edinburgh for a year). I went down yesterday and filled in a form. I went back today to have a quick medical checkup (blood pressure 120/70, I think, pulse 63, 12 stone, 177.5 cm).

Both times the secretary on the front desk was snotty with me, so it gave me great pleasure to hand her a still warm vial containing a urine sample and watch her hold it gingerly between two fingers.

It's the little things that make life worth living.

Dude, you should have "missed", and gotten a few drops on the outside of the vial.

LOL!

I never thought I'd look forward to the next time I have to wee in a small plastic cup.

What's the deal with medical receptionists anyway? I've never yet met one who didn't seem to think she was a fully qualified general practitioner who is perfectly entitled to talk loudly about your icky ailment in a crowded waiting room.

the whole process is horrible.. they stab you, poke you, and tell you to stop doing stuff...

Doctors are bad, bad people...
