Pathcare RMC - really unfriendly technician

The student that first saw me was very friendly I requested a thinner needle as I have very fine veins She had to get a senior to assist .. this person did not even greet me when entering the room .. proceeded to look for a suitable vein in both arms and after much ado had to concede a thinner needle was required There was much sighing and just a general air of unfriendliness.. it is often the case at this depot .. one of the visits I had to draw bloods at this depot the technician would not listen to me and ended up poking me 3 times looking for a vein with the thicker needle (the same technician by the way) … I try not to use this depot.. I often go out of the way to a further one .. I was pressed for time today and had to go to RMC unfortunately

After 50 operations (yes 50 ! ) I think I know my body better that the technicians .. do they not comprehend that most people walking in their door is not well and is there for blood tests to determine the origin … I really was not well walking in that door and then having to deal with the terrible attitude .. the sad reality is that this probably won’t change as the level of service in Cape Town is appalling on all fronts
