Furious with blood lab...re:cholestasis

My doc sent me in for fasting blood work on sat morning to rule out cholestasis. I was up and had my boys with me at the hospital at 6:15am on Sat morning. The blood lab just called to say they ordered the wrong test on accident and I need to get the test redone! I am so angry!! Thanks for letting me vent!!

  • It's frustrating that, with all the money the medical industry rakes in, careless mistakes are still being made. I had temped in a doc's office for three months and I was appalled by the number of times I saw lab test results coming back with misspelled patient names, errors on dates of birth or incorrect tests being done.

  • This happened to me at the begining of my pregnancy. I HATE needles so I was NOT pleased!

  • Vent away! I'd probably be in tears over something like this. I absolutely loathe having blood drawn (and needles in general). I'm sorry you have to redo the testing. :(

  • I'm sure that is frustrating especially because the bile acid test is a send out and takes almost a week to come back as it is. But, most labs rarely if ever order that test, so in some ways  I can understand how they might make a mistake. Sorry you have to be stuck again.
