Bloods

Just had my bloods taken and was chatting with the nurse about the old Wigan Infirmary. I ask did she remember when they had a sign on the door "Dracula" and plastic/paper vampire bats on the wallOften wonder what the PC Brigade would have made of ittoday.

Was that in the flebottomy deptqa1aaq
