JOAN: Are you glad you made an appointment online for your blood test?
JERRY: Yea, I would have been waiting for a couple hours.
JOAN: That’s rough.
JERRY: Yea, they seemed pretty disorganized.
JOAN: How so?
JERRY: Well the phlebotomists-
JOAN: The who?
JERRY: The people who take your blood also do the tests and manage the schedule.
JOAN: I noticed you wrote your name on the sheet like everyone else.
JERRY: It’s funny, if you had a scheduled appointment you have to write that on the same sign in sheet as the first come first serve people who wait for over an hour in the lobby.
JOAN: Wow, so it’s kind of the honor system?
JERRY: That’s right. What they really need is a receptionist, because the phlebotomists are doing everything.
JOAN: Can you imagine Count Dracula having a receptionist?
JERRY: Oh sure. It’s 11:59, Miss Flemington. The Count will see you now.
JOAN: The lights suddenly flicker and the “patient” is escorted by candle light down a dark corridor.
JERRY: After the 'test' the count says,
THE COUNT: “Miss Flemmington” you need to lay off those mocha frappachinos. Your blood is unusually thick today.
MISS FLEMMINGTON: Thanks Count.
JERRY: It could be an all night buffet for the Count as he stands there with his clipboard and medical dictionary.
JOAN: And providing a much needed service for doctors and patients in the community.
