My daughter is on medication that she needs blood tests for. It takes so much to calm her down in the evenings beforehand and the day of, it’s just an awful experience. She went for her blood tests just over a week ago on the Monday and had her scheduled appointment Thursday to increase meds if bloods came back ok. We show up Thursday and we are told the lab has looked at the wrong date of the blood samples and destroyed her sample. She was distraught. Tried to get her to do one same day and we refused as we had promised she wouldn’t be having one as had one days previously. Had to bring her in again last Thursday. Anxiety and lost sleep about it but she bravely did it again. By this point she has been taken out of school three times for these appointments.

We get a phone call Tuesday this week which I’m expecting is the results of the bloods and a meds increase. Bad news - the labs have not processed on of her samples and they cannot increase meds without it we need to come again. To say I am raging is an understatement. Mistakes happen but surely after the first time you would make sure you do it correctly. So I have to take my daughter AGAIN. I have put in a complaint with PALS. I don’t suppose they will do anything but I needed to get it off my chest
