Labcorp

Very very very busy. Went in for some blood work at 11.00 AM. Took close to an hour to have my blood drawn. Staff was polite and pretty efficient but very long waits. No good magazines, just Golf, and one Good Housekeeping. Not enough to help bide your time waiting to be seen. Meh! Not overly thrilled but glad it’s done.

LabCorp on Craycroft, my experience in past years: employees are not well trained on blood draws that have special requirements, they run out of simple supplies like butterfly needles for easy blood draws with multiple tubes, and run out of wipes for urine collection. Once feces was smeared over the bathroom floor — no employee bothering to clean it — though they knew about it. Anoter time the male phlebotomist looked high as a kite on heavy drugs (I had to return again to redo the blood draw, since he messed up the procedure and the test failed). Are they hiring staff at minimum wage off the streets? It sure seems so. They have caused me too much grief, nearly every time we have to deal with them. Inexcusable any more! Enough with Lab Corp.

Usually there is a line no matter what time you go in.
But arrive a little early in case the line is long.

what are you really supposed to say about a place like labcorp?
nobody likes going to get their blood drawn, urine or excrements tested.
the service can be slow at times because this lab gets pretty busy and they can only take in so many people at once.
other than having to wait half an hour to pee in a cup, the staff is friendly and the lab is clean. very comfy chairs in the waiting room. the only thing uncomfortable was the 80 degrees that they kept on the thermostat. with 15+ people in the waiting room, i think they should have put it down to 73 tops.
