Dr Chatterjee’s Do Health

[MiddleAgedButterfly]

Has anyone else signed up to Dr Chatterjee’s “Do Health”?
I had my first bloods taken today along with BP weight height etc.

I’m in! Test booked for tomorrow morning. Just read they take five vials. FIVE?!

The worst bit is the needle , five vials is not much volume . Drink plenty of water

Exciting that you’re all booked in 🎉

Different tests require the blood to be pre-processed in different ways, but they’re all small tubes and it doesn’t take long to fill them!

How long does the whole process take please? Do they weigh you etc?

thanks for water tip - will do. Must remember I’m fasting and not make my usual 6am brew!

I have been told my appointment tomorrow is 30 mins, think as well as bloods it’s all the usual observations.

It’s about 15 minutes in total. They explain everything they’re going to do, then check your details and give you chance to ask questions. They measure your height and weight (which you need to remove your shoes for), and check your waist and hip circumference. Then they take your blood pressure and resting heart rate, and collect the blood.

I’m all done - very easy - was about 15 minutes. Very grateful for the water drinking tip!
