After chemotherapy I have no decent veins for drawing blood. I leave after 8 sticks that don't produce and believe me they try everything...backs of hands, feet, you name it. I really sweat it when I go into labs for blood draws.
So, I was extremely apprehensive about going to Quest Diagnostics on Olive in Merced, CA. I put if off for 2 weeks.
Honestly...without question...the EASIEST most pain free blood draw I have had in the last 31 years!
Terry at Quest did a one time stick without pain and it held up long enough to fill over 12 tubes of blood samples.
She was extremely nice, friendly, fast and professional. And I am NOT a relative or friend, I am apprehensive about medical caregivers in general but really have to let people know this is a great place if you have to get blood draws. Wonderful place.
