Careful who you tell this to Trevor. Sounds like just the evidence Lord
Carter is looking for to put POCT lipid testing into local pharmacies &
supermarkets!
>Not that but I am finding increasingly that GPs are refusing to arrange
>for their practice staff to bleed patients a week prior to my lipid
>clinic. I do this so I can see a result in front of me when I see the
>patient and decide on their therapy there and then rather than do
>everything by letter in arrears. It also means I am unable to give
>advice or reassurance in person.

>So the patients have to take several buses or a taxi in to the hospital
>to get it done, or if they require an ambulance it doesn't get done.
>The main reason appears to be that their practice staff are too busy
>generating income for them to bother with something like this that is a
>nuisance that doesn't bring any income with it.
