Yu have my sympathies. I had a nightmare test too (the second one) and my nightmare tech showed up at 4:30 in the morning of my third test (sick tech called for her). So, I do really know what it's like. I gave feedback to the doctor at my clinic (modified and carefully phrased) and am having my fourth test in Nov. I've found I have to accept that medicos and techs may not like it, but I need to be clear about what I need. For example, I'm taking my own mask for my next test.It really is not ok for you to have a test without a mask that fits you.Is there some kind of medical body or registration process that oversees this clinic, because if so, you really should be reporting them.
The masks may have been wiped before sterilizing in an autoclave or something. That they were wiped doesn't necessarily mean thay wont be further cleaned.But I really can't see why you should pay for this test, they should pay you! I hope you can have another test in a better clinic.
