I didn't find a better thread to sperg in, sorry.
Women's blood tests and medical exams and such that must be done on certain days of the menstrual cycle.
I need a battery of FREE medical tests from the compulsory insurance labs, to present to a medical panel. (I'd gladly pay for all of it, and have paid, but SURPRISE!!! it turns out even tests done in public hospitals are no good, run the gauntlet of compulsory insurance and its attendant bureaucracy or fuck off.)
The three problematic entries on it are
- hormones, which must be done in a 4-day window
- a basic blood test that is current for 30 days
- the HIV test, which is not digitized because muhprivacy, and the paperwork afterward takes 8 workdays to complete
All blood tests have to be done on the same day, because drawing the blood is a separate billing entry, and drawing blood for all tests at once saves insurance money.
So I have to wait for The Day, get poked, then sit around for two weeks to collect the HIV paper (wait 30 minutes on the phone each day to ask if it's ready yet), then run to the GP, and then hope the medical panel's secretary has an opening in the two weeks that remain before the basic blood test expires (she sees people for half a day, once per week) and that the papers get to the panel on time.
