Today I had to go for a blood test in Wigan.
Entered Medical Centre reception - asked by the receptionist to put on a face mask.
"Sorry" I said - "I don't wear a face mask." Are you exempt? "Yes" I said. Why? "Because I'm exempt." OK, she said. She points an temperature infra-red gun at my head. "Don't do that" I said - "use my wrist." We can't do that. "Why?" I asked, "my wrist is the same temperature as my head". Wait here - I'll ask the Sister. Sister comes over - "we can take your temperature in your ear." "No" I said, "that's still my head, use my wrist". I stated that I'm not causing a problem and that I'm prepared to leave if there's an issue. The Sister takes my temperature from my wrist.
Into the cubicle - another nurse asks me to put on a face mask. "No, I don't wear a face mask" - but I hold the mask over my face with my hand. "Put the strings behind your ears." she says. "No, I'll hold it with my hand. If it's a problem, I'll leave now." She leaves the cubicle, phones Security and talks to a senior nurse. The senior nurse comes into the cubicle - asks me to put on a face mask. "No, I don't wear a face mask" - but I hold the mask over my face with my hand. "Put the strings behind your ears." she says. "No, I'll hold it with my hand. If it's a problem, I'll leave now." "No", she says, "but look the other way." She takes my blood. Then goes into the next cubicle and washes!
My blood sample will probably be mislaid!

I admire your front Sir! I must admit NHS buildings are the only places I will consent to wearing the face nappy. I figure if I can suffer the indignity of a doctor putting his finger up my arse then I may as well leave my pride at the door! Call me a coward but anyone I may have to entrust my life to can count on me to play along with all their ill-thought-out beliefs and prejudices.
