Re: Getting lab work

[Guest guest]

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!

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.

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.

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
