I was just sick to death of having to go to Quest. The few times I had gone to Lab Corp was okay. Every time I had to go to Quest, it didn't turn out well. The last straw was an inability to schedule an appointment because they were all booked up. I had complained about this before and was told via email to call Quest to make an appointment. No, thank you. Fix your program. I called my doc and ask the triage nurse to send me an order to go to LabCorp instead. Thankfully, my insurance company didn't care so I go online and schedule an appointment to get stuck at a LabCorp on the way to work.
I couldn't remember seeing said LabCorp on the way to work but I don't get around much so I popped the address into MapQuest and off I go. I drive up and down the street a few times before it dawns on me that the Labcorp is in Walgreen's. There needs to be a sign on the building about that but let's move on.
I have a fear of needles so I'm on edge anyway. I check in via the tablet gizmo. Two minutes later, I get called in by Tee. Wow! The good vibe was immediate and it wasn't fake. She was so nice and friendly. Her co-hort, Pearl, was just as jovial with some smooth dance moves. There were a couple of people getting stuck while I was there. I'm not used to getting a needle in front of others so privately, I was EXTRA nervous about that.
The conversation was good, the bandage was boring (why are bandages from labs always boring?), the needle hurt but I didn't cuss. My response wasn't what Tee expected but hey... I warned her. I had a fun time... I'll be back and thank you, ladies! read more
