OK, survived getting to the clinic - praying the whole way in that the evil, stupid and incompetent nurse wasn't on. That's one prayer that was answered at least!

I even managed to survive speaking to the nurse who was on about the phone call. She also expressed grave concern and said she'd "pass on the information".

With that, I'm happy, for now. As long as I never end up having to speak to the evil, incompetent nurse again. I suspect that if I do end up with her talking to me about my blood test results and getting instructions from her again I'll simply end up calling the clinic back to double check the results with a different nurse.
