Bored rotten at the moment!
Wife was told to go to local Urgent Care gir blood test, as GP thought she may be having IBS problems.
Got here about 5:30 pm, triaged quickly, saw Dr at 6:45pm, had bloods taken at 8pm now waiting results expected 9:00 to 9:30pm.
Will she be kept in or sent home?

Just over a month ago I was called to have a Lung Cancer Screening, as I am an ex-smoker!
On Monday I received a letter to say that as part of the scan they had noticed 'a degree of hardening of the arteries', they stressed that this doesn't mean I have heart disease, just that I am at greater risk.
For this I thank them

However the letter didn't say anything about Lung Cancer, which was the purpose of the screening!

Today I received a second letter from them, printed same day as the first (thanks Royal Mail), which gives the Lung Cancer Screening result and I need to get another scan in about 3 months as it doesn't need immediate follow-up or further investigation! The letter a;so mentions the hardening of the arteries and gives the same advice as the first letter.

At least it isn't an immediate rescan etc.
