I needed to get a blood test done for my PSA level, this morning. The clinic took the sample at 09:34 this morning (it's marked on the result sheet) and I was notified of the result three and a half hours later. Three and a half hours from vampire to result which includes the sample waiting at the clinic to be collected (normally at at around 10:00) and driven to the central laboratory as they don't do the testing at the blood clinic. I reckon that is an impeccable service. What is more, so long as you are a subscriber to the healthcare system (by way of a deduction from your salary or pension), there is no charge for that or indeed for any other routine blood or urine tests. The entire cost is borne by the Luxembourg government!
