RE: Re: Getting lab work

[Guest guest]

I have used Quest in Boca Raton (by the Boca Community Hospital).

My 6 yr old non-verbal son has been getting his blood taken there for about 2

years. They are always very kind and efficient. You are able to

make the appt. online and they are usually close to being on schedule.

There is a very tall man who works there (his name escapes me) who is fantastic

with my son. And he is quick, we are in and out before my son realizes

what happened. And, like the other post, my son will having nothing to do

with the band aid!

I looked in the archives but cannot find any

reference to an actual contact name and number to someone who can do a home

blood draw. If anyone has that kind of information can you please send it to

me?

My husband is at the local Labcorp with my 7 yr. old and it has been a

disaster. For starters, their phone just goes to a recording that does not

allow you to leave a message or speak to someone. It only gives you hours,

directions etc. There are about 30 people in the waiting room and he has been

waiting for a half hour despite our appointment.

Help!

> You can make an appointment and perhaps speak with them about your

child first. However, my experience with my son has been that the less

people involved the better. Initially, we used to have this whole

strategy for holding him down and it made it worse. The simpler the

better and the better mom is, the better the child is with it. They feel

us... I do know of a nurse who works specifically with our kids and goes

to homes for labs and/or to do infusions. Not exactly cheap but he is

sooo good and the kid doesn't even know what happened.

you can make an appt online. Or call them ahead of time and ask to speak to a

supervisor and explain your situation maybe they can accomodate you... Just an

idea.

get it done. Is there any advice on how to make this as easy as possible? He is

not going to sit well and he's not getting any smaller. When I had lab work

done at Quest, I had to wait an hour and a half at 6.a.m. (fasting is going to

be a whole other issue too). McLane

I swear I have tried every Labcorp in Broward....not a good one to be had! Even at the hospitals we find it to be a difficult event given that he is a moving target but geez...they somehow manage to do it fast in the ICU??? So it is possible...
