It Pays to Ask

I had to do two blood tests for my two doctors.  My appointments were a week apart. So I asked if I could do the tests at the same time and the lady said no I couldn't because they were asking for many of the same tests.  So I did the test for the first appointment with my GP in the clinic.  Then I came back a week later to do the test for my second appointment with my specialist in Kitchener.  I walked to the clinic and it took me about 45 minutes to get there.  When I was walking in the door I saw a sign saying that they were only doing blood tests for doctors in the clinic and if you needed a blood test for some other doctor you had to go to another test center about another 45 minutes walk away.  I went in anyway and the lady said I had to go down the street.  I said I did have a doctor in this clinic did that make any difference and she said in that case yes I could do the test there.  It pays to ask.
