nurses complaining while taking blood

October 7, 2008

Hi Bobby,

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday while getting my blood work done. I

go to my primary DR as he has a blood lab in his office.

The nurse complained because I came on a Mon; complained because she said I

should have come after lunch; I explained I had to have a fasting test.

Then she had to do the EKG and she complained about this also.

I am thinking of going to a regular blood lab, where all they do is blood work.

They couldn't find my veins either, and had to call another nurse to do it.

She said my veins were damaged from so many blood test.

Has anyone else ever been told this?

Blessings,

Jeanie<3

hi , talk about doctors not being thorough, or caring, I went to see my

gastroenterologist today, to be scheduled for a colonoscopy. He won't set up

an appointment until I clear it with Dr. Talpaz. I thought that was pretty

considerate. On the other hand tomorrow I go for labs and get either one of two

girls that both give me a hard time. Last week the one could not get the blood

to flow, put the needle in and out twice, blamed me for having my arm in the

wrong place! And she is the one I complained to about the other pain in the

butt! It is time to switch doctors and hospitals again. I do not need an onc

.. for this trial, a GP will do, so I am trying to get a local dr. to take me

as a patient. Whatever happened to treat patients with tender loving care?
