"Blood test"

About: Western Diagnostic Pathology

(as the patient),

I fasted for a blood test. I went the next morning and I believe the person doing the test was late. They were a bit upset for being late but took my blood and sent it off. I then got a letter saying there was a problem with the vials.

I went for another test instructed by the supervisor of Myaree Pathology Lab. The letter was kept by the person who took my blood.

I went to my doctor a week later who said the figures from the blood test seemed strange as there was blood from the opposite gender to me, detected in the test.

The Doctor said to go and get another test because of the strange detections in the last test. I went again for another test and this test was fine.

A few weeks later I received a bill for the part of the test for a cancer and the bill stated I was allowed only one per year and I’d already had one earlier in the year.

I am a Pensioner and the tests are supposed to be free, but because I had to keep going back because of the mistakes they want me to pay. I think it is not fair.
