Phlebotomy

I swear I'm going to take courses to become a phlebotomist so I can draw my own blood and send it in from my primary care doc (who is semi-retired and doesn't have any lab people).  It would mean no copay.  As it is I have to pay 30 bucks a pop per CBC and I have to get them once or twice every week.  Actually, my doc's last phlebotomist went on to become a paramedic but as I recall, he DID want to go out with me... Maybe I could work out some sort of trade.... lol

It is.  It's wonderful news because I'm having to pull so many screens right now.

Guess what.  My twice weekly blood counts, I found out, don't require a copay.  That's way cool because I'd thought they were going to be 30.00 each time.
