| - Ok, nobody likes getting a blood draw but this was definitely the worst experience I've ever had. I've had a lot of blood draws over the years including one where I passed out while pregnant and I'm no longer squeamish about it. This was still by far the worst experience because thankfully, people were kind and caring when that happened.
To start, the 3 front desk staff waited as long as possible to acknowledge my existence and there was only one other person waiting. Then, the lady rudely told me I would need to bring paperwork in for the next time since my dr had sent the order electronically. After that, I waited at least 15 minutes while they all chatted. The people working the desk also turned out to be the same people drawing blood too which was strange. Finally, an old woman weakly called my name and then she never said one word to me as she proceeded to take my blood. She didn't confirm my identity, birthdate, nothing. I've never had that happen before so now I'm uncomfortable and nervous. Also, usually, I am asked if I have a preference which arm. Since she didn't speak, I asked her to use my left arm. Still, no words, just seemed irritated at my request. She didn't do a terrible job at the actual draw but still said nothing! I mean, it was awkward! And then when I walked out by the front desk, the lady there actually leered at me! I felt like I was in a creepy episode of American Horror Story! Finally, to top it off, even though the actual blood draw didn't hurt, my arm hurts/aches up to my shoulder worse than any I've had before. If you hate people this much, I can't understand why you would choose a job "helping" people instead of working in a lab hidden away from the public. Don't go here unless you want a terrifying Halloween-type experience.
