 Our lab plan did work to a degree. Sort of. 

Ethan checked in with the QR code at 8:00 while we were in route to the lab. We tried to do so earlier, but the lab wasn’t open so it wouldn’t allow us to check in. There were 4 people ahead of him.

When we arrived, we walked in and his name was called within 5 minutes or less. Very promising.

We gave the lady his 3 pages of blood tests. Then we waited. We waited and waited and waited. Ethan was tolerant.

Finally they called Ethan’s name. Other phlebotomists were calling their 4 th or 5 th person in.

We finally were called and I asked the lab, what their process was. The thing that takes the longest, is that they have to manually enter in ALL 3 pages of tests, one by one. What a time suck. 

NYC lab orders don’t mesh with Rochester labs. We were there for a solid 40 minutes before we were called back. So we did save a little time. Good to know!

We will see what the results are.
