[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 134321, member: 84"] Heather Loth I don't know how doctor offices or such do it. But I do know that mixing up tubes so that a patient has to be redrawn at the hospital can cost you your job. And when you think about it, it make sense. We were trained to check, double check, and then check again. If in doubt, check AGAIN and call the doctor for varification. For ER patients at the hospital I trained at, we took blood and used ALL tubes automatically. (hospital policy) If doctor ordered specific tests, we filled additional tubes for those tests. That way there were "back up" tubes available to cover for any human error. But God help the person who made the error. I saw two phlebotomists fired during my training for that. Hugs [/QUOTE]
