Here in Spain they really like to do their blood and urine analyses. And boy is it a process. Things are never as easy as you think they might be. First you have to buy a cup at the pharmacy, a special "pee" cup. Then you do the deed, and yes you have to carry it with you to the clinic. With you. On the subway. And if you forget the referral form that the doctor filled out for your analysis, then you are screwed. Yes, you have to go back home in order to get it. No, we do not have it on file. That would be an invasion of privacy laws. But we will wait while you take a 30 minute metro ride home and a 30 minute metro ride back in order for you to get your form. And when you come back we will leave the door open for the entire waiting room to watch you get your blood drawn while the nurse does not even try to distract you by small talk so you instead focus on a poster advertising travel in the Canary Islands.Diagnosis: low blood pressure, but in the normal range.
Prescription: Eat salty food and drink Coca Cola
Either doctors in Spain are crazy or genius. Still deciding.
