What a horrible experience it was trying to get my blood work done! First of all, this insurance business is totally confusing. The specialist is out of network and so they wanted me to go back to my in-network laboratory to get the blood work done so I don't have to wait for authorization or pay for anything.... specialist faxed me the order slips since they can't make internal orders from the system (I assume)... but my in-network hospital can not read or understand their order slips!!!! It was SUCH a mess. They had to call the doctor in order decode everything. Well also, the technician was ridiculous incompetent and had zero problem solving skills, so I had to take care most of the sorting out. Anyways, finally an hour later, the technician printed out a really long roll of labels.... and took out 9 empty tubes..... NINE!!! I'm normally not bothered by needles, but to think they're going to fill 9 tubes with my blood made me so nervous.... so he stood there, double checking the color coded tubes to the lables, to make sure they correspond... 15 mins and 3% blood loss later, I left.
Went a few blocks away to finish up some Christmas shopping where I got a call from the lab begging me to go back because one of the tubes was wrong. Fortunately for them, it was my day off and I was in a very leisurely mood....and I was still in the area. I said "no problem, I'll be there before closing". So they took 2 more viles of blood from my other arm. Oh my lord, 11 viles of blood taken. My veins are bruised.
Everything better be correct! I try so hard to make sure everything is perfect so it's done right the first time. Don't waste my cycle. I need to concieve asap, and that is by Feb!
