Eisenhower Labtechniques

Dec 2023

I did a walk-in, which wasn't too bad. I actually live closer to Eisenhower hospital, but I came here instead since I was out this way. When you walk in your checked in and you just wait. I guess I waited about an hour which wasn't bad for the morning time and the amount of people that were there. As soon as I got called, I was taking in and my blood was drawn immediately. I wish I knew the name of the technician. She was so sweet we had a great time talking. Afterwards I had to have an x-ray and there was nobody in their imaging center and they took me right away. All in all making an appointment is probably better but walking in was great for me too. I recommend.

Had a huge hemotoma after blood draw. I am not on any medication that should influence bruising. I had blood drawn the day before at a different lab and only very slight bruising. The tech did wiggle the needle while it was inserted so maybe that caused bruising? This is kind of aggravating as the phlebotomists do this all day and should be expert at it!

Appointment system is weak. Had a 30 minute wait past my appointment for a 30 second blood draw. At least they were fast once I got in. Apparently there is a shortage of Coban at this lab. My lab tech barely connected it around my arm after my blood draw, and it fell of in under 5 minutes. Good thing I clot relatively fast. Disappointed.
