Myself and my wife are o a p,s we both have medical cards,... The oap pension is our only income .Recently my gp (whose wife is a nurse in the practice). told me i needed a blood test for which he charged €20 .My wife has a complaint for which she needs a regular blood test ,for which she is also charged.Their attitude is if you dont like it then go to the hospital .All equipment and and testing services are provided to the practice free of charge. ....To me this is pure greed and is only a way to provide an income to his wife at the expense of his patients and the H S E.... I have been in touch with the minister about this . Whats the betting he being a gp in the past will find some way to justify this charge ...I will keep you informed
