I was waiting for my time to them to take my blood. Now my blood test was a fasting test for things like cholesterol and the like, so I had to stop eating after dinner the night before and not eat breakfast until I got home. I took a number and sat down, waiting for the call when I saw this.
A woman came into the waiting area with a Tim Horton's beverage (I think coffee) and some food (I think bagel). She handed her test form to the receptionist, and that's when things went downhill for her.
See, she also had a fasting test, which meant that she should not have eaten before the test. The receptionist took one look at her food and told her that she wasn't supposed to eat it before the test. The woman raised HOLY HELL! She said that (and I'm paraphrasing as I can't remember), she took time off work (?) to get the test and drove a long way, she wasn't told that it was a fasting test, etc.
She was definitely angry, but I was left wondering, who was at fault here? The woman for not looking at her form and then yelling at the poor receptionist, or the people who she said did not tell her about the test? I'm thinking, they should have told her, but she also could have asked them if they didn't tell her.
Your thoughts?
