I had a telephone call the other day from the doctors receptionist to inform me that they wanted me to have a routine blood test. Am I the only coward over this? Even the thought of it makes me go pale.
I also am thinking, but I feel fine, so why should I go and have one, my normal tablets must be ok, and if they change or mess about with them then maybe I won`t feel so well.
After all, if ones washing machine, kettle or whatever is working fine we don`t take it to bits and interfere with that do we. As the saying goes, if it ain`t broken, don`t mend it!
So, do I go or not?

So you only take your car in to be serviced when it breaks down? I think not. Routine maintenance of a machine is important.
The human body is a far more complex machine than a motor car, and subtle things can be going wrong that we are not aware of. That's why we need routine blood tests from time to time.
Point taken, thank you.
I`ll have to pluck up my courage now, to go for it.
