It's better than bad, it's nuts!

Hi, everyone. Aunt Hys is all riled up at Shands (I guess that's who came up with this hare-brained blood drawing method). Gracie's bacteria-ridden blood sample was meaningless from the moment it was drawn, so the information it would have provided was non-information anyway. Now, this sample is "lost" somewhere between the Lake City and the mothership. If you're up for reading a foot-stamping temper tantrum about this, it's in the comments on Mack's post (previous). I'll spare the rest of you.

Pfeh.

that is unbelievable. I thought it was lake city medical center though, not shands lake city. am i wrong?

If they remember who wasn't wearing gloves, they should report it. Also, they should never allow anyone without gloves to touch her anyway...

It was Shands at Lake Shore...
What a huge mess that whole operation was. Poor Gracie.

Apparently, she goes to Shands LC, on account of LCMC has no peds unit. Is that right?

I'm thinking that hospital has contaminated the blood almost every time they've taken it from her. One would think they might try to be a little more careful.

Poor baby, as if she hasn't been thru enough already.

Ugh! I'm sorry to hear about the debacles! We're praying that Gracie gets better ASAP so you can be back home. Please keep us updated.
