... To take a blood sample?
In my case it was 4.
I've mentioned it in a couple of pms, but I thought I'd share.
I was sent to the local hospital for a precautionary blood test. (No need for sympathy, I'm sure I'm fine). I wasn't dressed. I'd just put on shorts to make it easier to inspect a swollen leg. But I had my usual bling and what with my long hair and currently longish nails, I was obviously a 'person of interest '. So I had 1 nurse doing the business and another three chattering away to me about my travels and my opal rings. I loved the attention but ...
Grrr ! Why now, I could have done with this attention 50 years ago, lol !
I'm due for a follow up scan today. Shining up my nails, and wondering what to wear. What's the betting that I get attended by a grumpy old matron this time ☹️ ?
Love your day !

All done, I love the NHS. When it works there's nothing better. The staff were lovely.
Also the first time anyone's seen my knickers. A brand new pair of black lacy ones. And the scanning nurse / technician spent plenty of time checking out my groin area ! (for evidence of a DVT of course). Not a word.
Obviously a person of interest. The obvious is turn up fully dressed and see if you have more nurses in attendance...
I've been for a few medical appointments as Cerys. Most don't care. I get called by my male name and then I get occasionally get asked if that name is OK or would I prefer another one. Out in the wild I don't have another name. If asked, I say that I'm he/him and that crossdressing is just something I do. I've occasionally had long chats with various medical practitioners about it. I explain that it helps me fight depression and that it gives me a boost of confidence etc.
The only time it has ever been a slight problem is when I once needed an ECG and I was wearing a bra and forms. I needed to remove these so they could attach the electrodes. I didn't know that I was going to have an ECG. If I had, I'd have gone in male mode.
I've had a year of hospital, doctor, nurse and physio appointments as I was taken seriously ill back last April. Dozens of tests, scans, blood tests, lung function tests, consultant visits, an angiogram, 3 MRI scans, 4 CT scans. Dozens of X-rays.... Thankfully, being in the UK, the NHS provides this for free.
The brilliant NHS saved my life, and got me back to 80% of the person I was before I was ill.
If I knew I was being scanned or X-rayed, I'd dress accordingly 🙂
Cerys
