Raphael was subjected to some needles this morning involving an intramuscular testosterone injection and taking 12ml of blood for tests (thyroid, haemachromatosis, and CHD7 genetic test).
I am sure that they had previously taken blood for CHD7 genetic testing and I was surprised to see that it had been added to the list of things that blood was being taken for. But when I grilled them about this the kind nursing staff checked the records and could find not find any blood being kept for Raphael's genetic testing so it would have to be done anyway.
He has previously been very difficult to get blood from and I don't think that the registrar who came in to do the job had successfully taken blood from Raphael before. However, this was the most successful time ever and Raphael didn't even vomit when he was distressed about what was being done to him.
