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.
