Hows this for a case of above and beyond the call of duty.
Sam has reached a stage in his treatment for his needle phobia where he is now ready to watch someone giving a blood sample.
As no one we know is needing blood tests done our GP Has offered to be 'guinea pig' and allow the practice nurse to take blood from her while Sam watches :shock: :shock:
What a brilliant GP, don't you all agree


The big day is Monday, so here's hoping everything goes well and it wont be long till he is having blood taken himself.

He was back again this Monday for a 'dummy run', they done everything except piercing his skin with the needle.
I phoned his psychologist today and she has OK'd it for me to arrange an appointment to have his bloods taken next week.
I can't believe that we have finally reached this stage after 2 years
Anyway wish Sam luck for next week. It will make such a difference to his treatment if he can finally get through this stage.

It just goes to show that there are still some "good guys" out there. Well done Sam and well done GP for seeing that this was the way forward.
It makes you feel all "warm and fuzzy" inside when you hear of things like that.
Thank you for sharing this moment with us all
Take care
