OMG.

So a couple weeks ago, I went to a surgeon's general office for the medical exam. I picked the cheapest one since I didn't know what kind of additional procedures I might need, you know?

The doctor drew blood, did the TB test, and gave me a Hep A vaccine update. I called the following week for blood results, and one of the nurses said it's still pending and that they will call back when the results are in.

Cut to today, when I decided to call them myself to check on my status. It took ten calls, countless holds, and talking to multiple inept people before the nurse in the lab told me the real reason for the delay. My blood sample had clotted, and they couldn't run the tests.

!!! Nobody had called me to tell me anything. She couldn't tell me why I wasn't even notified earlier. Now I have to go back on Saturday morning to give a new sample so they could run the test on the same day. Why didn't they just run it on the same day the first time?!

I'm so tempted to just take all my records with this doctor to a new, more competent one. But my lawyer is almost done with the paperwork, and I just don't want this to delay my application even further. BUT GOOD LORD. Very few things make me as upset as incompetence and bad customer service.
