Not wearing gloves isn't even the grossest thing at this hospital. A few years ago I went there regularly and one guy was wearing a lab coat that had fresh blood on it when he did my draw. It was a disposable lab coat so he should have thrown it away. And he didn't use gloves either. Nasty, nasty.

The best place is in the city where I go for therapy but I need to have a place here too because I can't always time it right in the city. I've gone to one place here consistently since the pandemic started but most of them can't draw from my left arm and since I need this lab done monthly for the foreseeable future I need them to use all available veins. There is one girl who won't even try my left arm anymore there. So I wanted to switch to this new place but nobody seems to know their fax #. I got that from them today but I also got a copy of my lab order so I can take care of it myself now. The only thing is the new place is related to the hospital so who knows how safe they are?

I hope to get back on schedule in the city.
