Yeah admittedly got it today and its 75? which ive googled and is equivalent to 9.0% in my eyes, which yes its fairly high, but i have good reason for it. anyhow, what is with this new thing? and also im really annoyed due to the fact ive got to go to another clinic which is somewhere i can't get to therefore i can't go.
 
The new numbers came in in around 2010 I think, but a lot of places (including mine) still give the results as a percentage. Some places give both!

Could you ask your GP to refer you to a more convenient clinic?
 
Es Tell Aa !

Start at the beginning and please tell Grandma Jen - SLOWLY - what you are on about re this clinic business. Why can't you go to your current clinic and where have you got to go in future, and how come they are just sending you somewhere you can't get to?

Where is it - John o' Groats?
