Incredibly rude lady at the front. Then she got nice, then rude again. Not really sure why.
She seemed disturbed that I'd come without an appointment (she did the same thing with other people that didn't have an appointment). She barked at me that I'll be there for up to an hour waiting for my urinalysis. She also seemed pretty annoyed with me that I didn't know to give the pen to her after I checked in and not back in the cup. There was no sign, just her silently looking at me.
People came and went, some with appointments, some without. The lobby was empty, except for me, for at least 10 min.
Right around an hour later she looks at me, shuffles some papers to find mine (like she forgot about me) and says I can come back - she was the sample taker.
At any point she could have taken me in for my urine sample. Instead she ignored me, spent time chatting with other patients, and looking on her phone for a TV show she couldn't think of the name to.
When I went back, I asked her if she could have done this test at any time. She snappily said yes, but people with an appoint come first.
To note, there were a hand full of people with appointments in that hour, and from what it looked like most saw the Dr/other person. Not her. She mostly sat there on her phone or talking.
I should also mention she scratched the rim of the sterile collection container on the counter as she dumped out the other components of the test. As a nurse versed in sterile technique, that is a big nono.
I won't be going back to that lab Corp and that lady might need a vacation. Hopefully she gets to feeling better. read more
