| - I've never had my blood drawn for an allergy test before, and this location was the closest to home so I decided to come here. The first time I came here, I actually had a pleasant experience. The lady at the front desk was nice, and I was seen quickly without having to wait long. The person who drew my blood was friendly and knowledgeable and the experience was over within 20 minutes or so. Quick and easy. I was glad I got it over with!!
Then, about two days or so later, I get a voicemail from the person who drew my blood that they actually misplaced my blood samples, and id have to come in again to draw more blood. Um, what? You lost my blood? I received a huge ugly bruise for nothing? Really made me wary to come back in... but again this place is close to home, so I left work early (again) and came in and stated I was back again since my blood sample was misplaced. I was able to avoid a long wait due to the accident which was okay, but once I sat down the Asian woman who was drawing my blood now noticed the huge bruise on my left arm. She clicked her tongue and told me I didn't have "the vein" by looking over my arms and told me the top of my hand would have to do. This worried me never having my blood drawn by my hand before, I asked her if it hurt more and she replied, "well, you don't have the vein so..."....very reassuring. Once she put it into the top of my hand, she kept wiggling the needle inside and telling me to stop tensing up and to relax. I noticed not a lot of blood was coming out and the pain was intense to say the least... after a while she removed the needle, told me to put pressure on it and told me I just couldn't relax enough. I have to admit it was very hard to.
Once I left, I went home to put a bandaid over the site where the blood was drawn and I was horrified to see a huge painful lump under my skin which ive never seen before!! I was super worried!!! I called back to the office, and the woman I spoke to asked if I received any aftercare instructions. That was a big fat no for both experiences. She put me on hold for a while, came back and told me to ice it and to go to my primary doctor if it bothered me. Wow. I had to ask one of my nurse friends what the heck was happening. She told me it was a "blown vein" which is when they pierce the vein through which causes blood to seep under my skin. Awesome. My hand was blue and painful for days.
I've received this second blood drawn a week ago from today and still have heard nothing when I was told it was going to take 3 - 4 business days.
