The location was good, the room was empty, and the check-in was easy and plenty of parking. Did a self check in (had an appointment but got seen sooner), and things seemed okay.
Needles don't bother me, and I can usually watch painlessly as they retrieve the blood.
The lady seemed nice enough but in a bit of a hurry. The initial poke to get my vein was fine, but after she started to fill the vials, it started to hurt like hell. Like she was rooter rooting my veins!
After that I had to pee in a cup. No wipe was provided; they usually give a wet wipe for you to kind of clean your under carriage area to prevent contamination, but they did not, and I thought that was really weird.
I thought I was being a big baby until my husband told me his experience.
The girl who took his blood was in a crappy mood and gave him attitude for no reason!
She jammed the needle in his arm, and he said it felt like she pierced straight through his vein! She's was a rooter, too!
Please, retrain these ladies! It should not hurt like that! read more
