That's the problem with some big facilities. :-( It's almost like you
are nothing but a number on an assembly line....

I'm glad the place I work at is still small enough to treat our
customers like individual humans!

Our CT/Radiology people call the lab themselves to ask for and wait for
the renal function testing prior to starting the procedure! I get those
calls all the time when I'm working Chemistry.
