I think you have pegged the diagnosis - narcissistic vampirism! James D. Peele, Ph.D. Director of Clinical Chemistry Baptist Medical Center 800 Prudential Drive Jacksonville, FL 32207 Voice: 904-202-2675 Fax: 904-202-2795 Email: [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Clinical biochemistry discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Tarn Anne (RJ6) MHC-TR Consultant Sent: Friday, August 12, 2011 6:02 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Patient who wants his blood back We have had a request from a patient for us to return his blood to him following testing for routine biochem. It is unclear why he wants it except that it 'belongs to him'. He is also asking for all documentation relating to the request, by which I am assuming he means his results, which we can deal with through FOI. I'd be grateful for any advice.
