Painless blood extraction.

(as a service user),

Today I had a blood test (i.e. a vampire sample, haha) at Arbroath Infirmary. I recently lost 10stone in 6 months after a gastric sleeve and I was having my bloods checked to check all is well. I was welcomed by Michael, who sat me in the super comfy chair, did my blood pressure and checked my details. I bared my arms so the vampire could drain my veins and he did so painlessly. I told him about my gastric sleeve and he complimented me immensely. I felt showered with praise and left positively lighter than I arrived. I am happy that Michael (who may or may not be a vampire) took my blood today.

Hello Happyvampirebloodgiver,

thank you so much for leaving this feedback for Michael and the CTAC service. Congratulations on your weight loss, what a great achievement!

It is good to hear that you managed to have a good experience with having your blood take as this can be quite stressful for some. I wish you well with your future health.
