I can't believe the inconsistencies. I've never asked for a test they have all been offered to me as development appropriate tests. I thought everyone had them as a matter of course! I've had my US done at Bensons Radiology and my blood tests at either IMVS or the blood place next to the clinic I go to. They've done so many blood tests on me, the hospital even had me tested for thallesaemia the other week because I've got anaemia!

The only things I've had to pay for are the medications I've had to have, ie for MS, iron tablets etc. I had the same experience when I had Miss 3, so I was 28 then and 32 now. I have private cover but I've gone as a public patient both times and have been really satisfied with my treatment.
