Hi, I had a blood sample taken 2 days ago and had a call this morning from pathology requesting a second sample to be given. As it wasn't my doctor calling, the lady taking blood couldn't tell me why they needed another sample. Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone know the reasons why this might be needed? I am quite an anxious person so am feeling nervous about why this was needed. Thanks
It just means that your blood sample was not handled properly and they need another one in order to get accurate results. if something was wrong health wise, it would legally have to be the doctors office that calls you, not home took your blood.
Thanks @sweetmelissa! This has made me feel so much better already
