BLOOD TECHS

I hate this hospital! For how much education these people require they are IDIOTS! Madison's doctor requested tests to be ran. They come to take blood. They do this for a living you would think they would know what they are doing. 3 veins later they actually take blood. She is hysterical and they get the required blood.

This morning they come back in at 5am. My nurse was pissed. She yelled at them and said I do not care this little girl is sick and you do not NEED this blood at 5am. NO get out! She made them come back while she was not sleeping. So they returned today. They were here to take blood. I of course wanted to know why. They said your doctor put in more orders. I was PISSED! I started yelling. NO HE DIDN'T. I went off. He was so angry at these idiots! He didn't put in new orders they were trying to cover up the fact that they did not draw the right amount of blood. This is your job, this is what you do, how do you screw it up that bad. So they had to draw more blood.

It makes me so angry that they restrain her and practically lay on her and the tell her oh it's okay. I was so mad. I was like NO it is not okay you are hurting her do not TELL her it is OKAY because it is not OKAY. So they get blood from one vein and I grabbed her she was hysterical. They wanted more. The nurse came in to make sure they gathered the right amount as they messed up the first time. THESE STUPID TECHS cut her heel to gather 10ml. She was screaming. That is WAY to much to gather from a heel. Finally they left. I told the nurse if they come back I will get up in jail for assault so you better keep them away from my daughter.

Before the nurse was parting shifts for the day, she came up to me and said that these MORONS did not collect enough blood AGAIN! They were told how much to collect, but apparently they didn't fill the right tubes. I was so mad! I said NO absolutely not no test is worth this, it's just a guessing game. The dr can deal with the fact that it was not done. They touch her I will fight, scream, beat them down, and sue this hospital. She said I agree this is ridiculous. The dr is so angry he could not believe they had poked her so many times. Her poor arm has tiny little poke holes and bruises all over.

Thank goodness the test they didn't run is just an allergy test so it wont get us out of the hospital any faster. So it is something that we can follow up with the GI dr at a later date. Give this poor child a break. She panics every time someone comes into our room and it takes forever to calm her down. It is awful!
