Went to the GP this morning to get routine bloods done, turned up and it was a young lad who I was a little nervous had no experience but he seemed fairly confident so I sat down and he carried on, I didn't feel much, off I went a few minutes later
Just gone to take the plaster off and I'm horrified to see the area is very swollen and has lots of blood filled pockets/clots (not sure what you would call them). I've never had this with getting blood taken but the more I think about it, at the time when he was taking it I hardly felt a thing which was unusual which is leading me to think he hadn't put the needle in far enough and was maybe just drawing blood from surrounding area....
Anyway, should I go back to the GP to get them to look at it? Is it dangerous!?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks x
