![]() But I didn’t have to spend my entire day there without eating and just sips of water. ![]() So she could have explained this and what they had to do then I wouldn’t have spent about 6 hours there. That I understood but the nurse that was so rude and kept saying that they are not taking any walk ins. I wanted all day that they were open to find out because of them being behind they where behind schedule Finally at 20 minutes to 3 one of the other nurses explained to me that they need that extra 20 minutes to finish paperwork to get blood samples out. This time it was different I know I was a walk in but I needed to have my hemoglobin checked because if it was even lower I would have to go to the hospital and get a couple of pints of blood. I have always have no problem at my every 12 weeks appointment but in this case it was a late doctor appointment and I needed to get my blood drawn but it took this one rude nurse to make my experience unhappy and a bit angry when she told me after a few hours being here as a walk in. It only takes one person to make the experience uncomfortable Btw, I’m director of a nonprofit medical research institute - and am writing this review to congratulate Quest and to help you help yourself by looking for trends. ![]() So help your doctor, by looking to see if any of your lab values show a trend (for better or for worse) instead of waiting until a value is outside the reference range. The AMA, the CDC, the NIH - everyone is now recognizing that YOU are better off when *participating* in your healthcare. Doctors usually scan your most recent lab report, only looking for an H or L - few doctors will also study your last three or four lab reports - they will miss a trend. A trend are much more meaningful than a simple “H” or “L” (high or low). I just noticed a somewhat hidden feature: tap on any value and you’ll get a graph of all your history at Quest - this helps you to detect a trend, if your lab tests have been done by Quest. QUEST has does an excellent job reporting lab results, with useful information about the meaning of the values.
