I’ve been going through tests at the Mayo Clinic of late. I gave blood back on the 3rd, and have learned a lot from it. Last week, my doctor ordered some more tests done on that blood. Somebody entered an order into the system for me to call and schedule an appointment to give more blood instead. I was with mom in hospice and didn’t call them until today to schedule a completely different test. Which is when they told me about the order to give more blood so they could run the ordered tests. I asked why they hadn’t done the tests on the existing blood sample. They said that blood samples expired in six days, so they needed more blood from me. I said that the doctor had ordered the tests when the blood was still good, and asked why they hadn’t just run it then. They said that I hadn’t called them, so now they needed new blood. *sighs* So now I’m fasting again so they can take more blood from me, so they can run the tests they should have run last week. So stupid…
