[QUOTE="Lynnzhealth, post: 2084462, member: 436056"] Can you get your blood tests done at the hospital? We have the choice over here to have it done at the hospital (in the lab by the front door) or at the doctor's office, mine at least. Then they courier the blood to the hospital lab every day. I volunteer at my local hospital at the Information Desk which is right at the front door and the lab is to the left of the desk. Our hospital has been added to a lot and our corridors make it feel like a huge airport, especially when we wheel a person to X-ray or the ER or to a unit to visit someone. That's part of our 'job'. I sometimes say to folks that the ER is at the other end of the airport because it's a long walk. And, for those with no wheelchair there are wheelchairs right inside the doors that we use for them. Why would the guy be a porter if he complains about it? Boggles my mind. Would your son or someone else be able to take the sample to the lab while you wait? It would be a shame to not be able to get the test done. I'm still waiting for the results of my test to come back. My blood had to be shipped off Island so it takes a couple of months or more to get the results. I'm anxious to get the call that they are back. Hopefully you can figure out a way to get this done.
