That's actually a good thing. I hate it when a doctor has to use a needle. They just don't usually have as much practice as the nurses, and especially a pathology nurse or phlebotomist! Those folk are almost painless! Still scary, but almost painless.

That's fast! There is usually a two+ hour wait at
each test clinic in this hospital. If you have 3-4 different tests, it's an all day affair. That's why I didn't tell them I could speak Japanese. I came in at 10:30, saw a doctor for manual exam, then four different tests including EKG and X-Rays, and out by 12:30! I'm never going to let my wife come with me ever again!

We all complained about being hungry until it was each person's turn. when you are done you skip off gailly saying you are off to breakfast grinning at the still starving patients in the waiting room.

That might be the only enjoyable part of the whole test!
