More and more I find myself opting to pay for adjacent health services in Australia.

Getting simple simple blood tests is such a chore. 

1. Get doctors appointment
2. Explain to Dr list of bloods required
3. Show doctor studies to justify why
4. Deal with attitiude because a GP doesnt have depth of knowledge (I don't expect it)
5. Get bloods drawn
6. GET ANOTHER APPT TO GET RESULTS
7. Get no value from Dr about results. 

That process costs about $100. 

Without the appointments and time wasting its about $250 - results immediately emailed.

For me, thats good value.
