Nerve damage by Phlebotomist accompanied by Unethical Behavior
1
I am Pinaki Bose, a long term admirer of the esteemed Labcorp organization. This time I am writing this on behalf of my wife - Mrs. Tanima Majumder (Age : 30). Yesterday on 29th April 2021, I took her for doctor prescribed blood work in Labcorp (600 Pavonia Ave, Jersey City- NJ 07306) . At about 12 Noon, when the needle was inserted in her left arm joint, she felt like an electric shock in ring and middle finger and immediately it got fully numb. This is very much unusual as she has gone through many blood work throughout her life, but never experienced this kind of electric shock feeling and numbness. She felt like her nerves may have been damaged which led to the unusual pain and numbness. The phlebotomist mentioned that she will not take blood and asked us to leave and "go scream at home". She came back in pain and numbness on the fingers and along with that shattered by the ill behavior of the staff. It has been a horrible and badly physically painful experience. Today also she is not able to use her left arm much. I hope Labcorp should take necessary action for this unwanted and painful experience followed by such an irrational and ill behavior. We have never expected this from a renowned organization like Labcorp. Now I am doing multiple doctor visits for my wife with the pain in left arm which has made it partially unusable. Kindly let me know if you need any further information.
