He began by apologizing, saying this was his fault. He stated that they just found out that morning that their certified phlebotomist was sick with covid, and that he was picking up her workload and doing the blood draws. And that is why they were backed up. Well, I called him out on this lie! I informed him that my original appointment was scheduled for two days earlier, a Monday, and that his staff called 20 minutes prior to reschedule the appointment because they found out over the weekend the phlebotomist tested positive with covid (not sure I even believe that now); so they needed to reschedule me for Wednesday when Dr. DiMasi would be able to do the blood draw. I understood, bummed that I had fasted for nothing, and rescheduled.
