Apart from going to the main desk to hand over the expired card once more and receiving our sticky labels again, we have no idea of where to go.  This time we are told to go to the second floor – this is new – we don’t usually get beyond the first floor, however we have no idea of what to do when we get there.  We see a short queue at a desk so decide to join that.  Our turn comes and we soon discover that it is the wrong queue.  So off we go, down another corridor and join another queue.  The receptionist takes one of our sticky labels and attaches it to a form before handing the rest back to us.  We then to go to wait outside another door for Doctor Alexander.  Finally it is our turn and it quickly becomes apparent that he has no idea of why we are there!  However, after explaining briefly, he fills in all the right forms and sends us off to get Derek’s vitals taken all over again.  Another ECG, another label;  height and weight, another label; X-Rays, another label.  Derek is grateful that for this time, at least, they don’t require any more blood.  So two hours later and we are back home.
