why bother at that point? the lab doesn't get paid here if it takes longer than 3 days. surprisingly they almost all are done within 3 days. -- nm - mafic Aug 10, 21:10
I feel that in this pandemic, COVID-19 testing is a growth industry. Maybe we can train more lab technicians? -- nm - Mop Aug 10, 20:53 2
- I'm so glad Kaiser has their own lab. I've had to deal with Quest when I was with other providers in the past. - Meg Aug 10, 21:05 1
  - *and* it only costs me $20 this year for the blood draw, no matter how many things they test it for. -- nm - Meg Aug 10, 21:07
