The waiting game...

So as instructed I made plans today to go get my blood re-drawn for the prenatal panel that my Dr's office had lost. I drive all the way down there, park in the parking garage and yes pay to park.
I go upstairs and sign in and tell the receptionist why I am there. I sit down...and a watch all the patients in the waiting room come and go..the next batch of patients come and go..and the next batch after that come and go. I have no concept of time as I had left my cell phone in the car..but I figure by now it has been some time...finally the nurse apparently gets tired of seeing me sit there for that long and finally asks me why I am still here. I tell her I am waiting for the lab tech so I can get my prenatal panel re-drawn. She says okay let me go check for you. I wait again...eventually she and the lab tech come out and tell me to come back. So I sit down in the lab area and the waiting game starts again. Then about ten minutes later the lab tech informs me they lost my paper work and the Dr had to resubmit my lab order (you have GOT to be kidding me!) So then I have wait again for the order to go through and have them printed up. The lab tech also informs me that the reason I was waiting so long is that the Dr thought I was there to get my blood drawn and the lab tech thought I was there to see the Dr....no one actually checked with the receptionist. By this time I found out I had been waiting in the waiting room for an HOUR...then got to wait in the lab for another 10 minutes. So the paper work finally comes through and she says tells me it looks like my blood type was never even ordered in the first panel which is odd since its routine panel for every pregnant woman. *sigh*
She finally gets the Ok to poke me and that she does...several times in fact. She made this big deal about how great my veins were and I had many to choose from. Then she can't even get one! so a couple pokes later and I am finally out of there! luckily the guy at the toll booth recognized me since I had been there so often lately and he was nice enough not to charge me the whole thing and only made me pay $2.25. *sigh* it has been a long day.
