[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 134186, member: 84"] Heather Blood is blood, but tubes are not tubes. Take it from a phlebotomist. Each tube has different chemicals and such in it for the tests they are for. Then there is one that doesn't have anything in it except the blood. Use the wrong tube, the blood is useless. I don't know if you ever noticed when they do your draws but tubes have different colored tops. This tells the phlebotomist which tests this tube is for. PLUS ususally there are written orders that also tell the tube color in order to reduce mistakes. Sorry you have to go out and have it done again. That stinks. Hugs [/QUOTE]
