Rolling My Eyes
August 25, 2008
Getting the job is usually the hard part, but not in this case. Working in a hospital you must have the appropriate immunizations and of course before i left for omaha i knew this and had blood work done. So last week I went in for my health exam for work when they needed them.
Obviously i didn’t have them on me, so my first call was to my primary physician. Even though i called asking for my own records and the hospital said it would be no problem to get and fax over it became an issue. They wouldn’t fax me my own records. It seems like privacy acts aren’t helping the people that they should be *eyes roll*.
So today i had to go back to get a tb test read and then to get blood work to prove i have had the appropriate vaccinations. Drawing blood on me is another issue. The last time i got it drawn they stuck me in three different spots multiple times, and today was no different. Today i was stuck in four different places on my arms and hands. When i walked out of the clinic i looked pretty funny, and since i don’t have a camera to take a picture i drew one for your enjoyment:

Is everything gonna be this hard/funny?

Yeah, I often become a human pin cushion when I go get blood drawn. I am not squeamish, but there have been a few times where I thought I would hurl.
