I'm writing to report my negative experience 7/30/10 at 1400 W. Valencia Rd, Tucson, AZ 85746:



The tech seemed distracted when he called me into the office after I waited over an hour, I asked how he was and he stated "I've had several problem cases this morning..." I SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE BUILDING AT THIS POINT, AND WISH I HAD!!! He didn't seem to focus on what he was doing, he jabbed the needle into my arm and had to twist and reposition in my arm before shoving the needle through my vein - IT REALLY HURT! He tried blaming my veins, but I've had blood drawn many times in my life, and at this location before that was just fine. I've NEVER BEEN HURT LIKE THIS getting my blood drawn! This tech had VERY POOR SKILLS, and VERY POOR HYGIENE (his breath smelled extremely bad)!!! My experience is one no other patient should have to endure. I felt pain as the tech was jabbing the needle around in my arm, I have a hematoma with bruising and pain still radiating down my arm now almost 4 hours later!!!



I completed a feedback form before leaving the building, I called the number given for this location when I got home to speak with a manager, but had to just leave a message on the answering service relating my experience and requesting that someone call me back about what happened and to advise me how to treat the resulting hematoma and radiating pain in my arm! I have yet to receive a call from anyone connected with LabCorp!!!



Obviously, I am highly motivated to report this incident and let people know what happened to me. I feel moved to prevent another patient from being hurt by this tech and his incompetence, and to report LabCorp's failure to respond in a meaningful way.



Needless to say I STRONGLY DISCOURAGE using LabCorp for any service!!!
