During the first week of June each year I make sure I complete my tax assessment ready for payment prior to the end of June and I also have a blood and urine test to monitor my health.
This year, however, I sorted out my tax early (see Blog 18th May) and went to Clinica Europa in Benidorm on Tuesday of this week for the blood test. It is a private clinic for which I am eligible through my Health Insurance company, Perpetuo Socorro.
The system works as follows:
1. Report to reception and request to see doctor. Present Health Card for payment.
2. See doctor - in my case the wait was only 5 minutes. Discuss requirements and a prescription is given for the nurse.
3. See "blood nurse" who takes blood sample together with previously prepared urine sample.
The whole process only took 15 minutes - I went into the clinic at 9am and was out by a quarter past.
I have everything tested including PSA for prostate cancer and expect a 6 page report at the wend of the week.
