DO NOT LET THEM DRAW YOUR BLOOD!!!
4
I had my blood "drawn" or rather attempted to be drawn by 2 very incompetent, poorly trained MA's who clearly didn't know what they were doing, they couldn't get blood out of me, and they injured me so bad that it hurt to drive. They poked me a total of 4 times, at which point I said, "I've never had such a bad blood-draw in my life! Maybe I need to go somewhere else." The MA started acting a little panicked and said, "Some people are just hard to draw." But I called my mom, who is an RN, and she said, "You have someone who doesn't know what they're doing." I got my orders and took them to a hospital where it took one shot to get all the blood they needed. They used a butterfly needle and said that the giant needle the MA's were using was probably causing my veins to collapse. The phlebotomist said they frequently have to re-do OC Medical's badly-done blood draws. If I didn't have such a great doctor, I'd go somewhere else for care.
