I hate Quest....*update*
Ok, so the doc called us in for a little meeting on Friday. The results of the ultrasound were "questionable". That's never good to hear. The doc sent ordered bloodwork to test my HCG levels on Friday and then again today, Monday. He wanted to make sure they were doubling. He then told me I may miscarry over the weekend (seriously, WTF?!?). This was not my main OBGYN by the way, it was her father.
Anyways, I go in to Quest this morning at 5am to get my bloodwork done again, and they tell me they've LOST my paperwork. I was livid. I was thisclose to having a mini break down right there in their office. So I need to go get another order from the doc, and leave work early today to get this crap handled.
ugh. vent over.
update
I'm seriously going to lose my sh!t over here. I called the doctor's office to get the blood results back from the tests on Friday and yesterday. The nurse told me that she would have the results in 10 minutes. I was like "ok, I'll call back then". She then said "Oh, I can't discuss them with you though, you need to wait until you meet with the doctor, and they only see maternity patients on Mondays and Thursdays".
My appointment is on Thursday. I don't know how I'm going to wait until then.
Re: I hate Quest....*update*
Sorry you are dealing with this. I hope everything is OK.
I use LabCorp and they aren't any better. They have totally and completely screwed me over the past month. I have to leave work early today too. Sucks.
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
Thanks girls.
No, this can't happen! Oh Val, I hope he was just looking at the worst case scenario and he's wrong.
I went to Quest this morning also (I just got back). My complaint s that the people who work there act as if we are inconveniencing them. They are so curt.
I hope so too Darby.
I know exactly what you mean! I went to the one on Grove and Foothill in Rancho Cucamonga. The ladies there DO act like I'm inconveniencing them by being there.
I'm so sorry Val...for the not-so-great news from your doctor (who I am sure is wrong!) then to have to deal with the people at the lab.
Good luck! I'll be thinking good thoughts for you!
Oh, Val. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this mess. I really hope the doc is wrong. I will be thinking of you!
I'm sorry they are being so sucky when it's the last thing you need. You'll be in my thoughts.
I hope everything will be ok. I will keep you in my prayers.
want me to kick their ass?
*hugs*
Thanks for the well wishes ladies.
I feel like I'm going to throw up. I've been doing research online, and from what I've read, slow fetal heartbeats (the doc said the heartbeat was questionable) have a much higher chance of m/c before the end of the 1st tri. I really need to stop reading.....hopefully I can get some answers soon.
I know what you mean. Sometimes I over research and overdiagnosed myself, and I end up worrying more than I really should. Sometimes having all these technology and information could also be a curse. Hope everything will be alright.
I'm so sorry Val. I hope everything turns out okay.
I totally agree about Quest. They beyond suck.
UGH!!! I think I WOULD have had a meltdown!!! I would have kicked and screamed like a kid till THEY called my DR and got the order! FLUCKERS!!
And that OB.... ::THROAT PUNCH:: (I blogged about it) IT'S CALLED TACT YOU MORON!!! Hello...?!?!? bedside manner?!?!?
FWIW- I think that everything will be fine (not just saying that, I have that feeling) and you can see your normal OB from now on!!!
Hang in there!!!! Call me if you need to!!!
That is just so wrong! I hate our medical system!
