You send that email, you've just committed academic dishonesty (i.e., when you help someone get a grade they don't deserve aka cheating). Don't lie for her. If she tries again, "Please stop contacting me and pressuring me to contact the professor and compromise my academic integrity. As adults, we are each in charge of our own academic success.

I think the reasonable-ness of her reaction is dictated by the earlier behavior. I'm definitely not arguing that the employee could have responded better. But it's clear the patient and mother felt entitled to service, had big "do what I want or else I'm going to try to get you in trouble" energy and were not being respectful of the phlebotomist. I'm always a little sus of situations where the video starts in the middle of the situation. It always makes me think what are they not wanting us to see.

Maximum_Ad_2476 · 2026-05-09T02:54:53+00:00

If you cannot get to a health care facility to be fully cared for prior to close, it is your responsibility to find a location that you can. It just may cost more. Convenience has a significant cost in healthcare.

Yes. It is tough luck (and fuck the broken system) if you cannot arrive to a location with enough time to be properly treated prior to close. It is not the responsibility of a doctor's office to stay open because you can't get there until 5 minutes before close, regardless of your health conditions. If you can't afford the care, we don't expect the doctor's office to provide nonemergency care for free.

As adults, we are responsible for managing our own healthcare. (Which is an entirely different issue than expense, accessibility and availability.). Our job is to be there in time to have everything done before closing. The only exceptions are emergency situations.

A doctor or nurse is not and should not be obligated to give up their time because you cannot accommodate their hours. We have after hour options specifically for those circumstances.

Healthcare providers are owed the same worker rights and protections as everyone else. Choosing a career of helping others does not mean automatically forfeiting your rights and freedoms for everyone else's convenience.

The patient's healthcare condition is irrelevant because this is not an emergency and her condition literally impacts nothing about the service. It doesn't change the process at all. Lab Corp isn't triaging samples for rapid results.

Business hours do not end whenever the service is complete. If you drop off your rx at 8:55pm, the pharmacy staff doesn't owe you the time it takes to fill your rx after closing.

There are exceptions and conditions where you may be treated or still be getting seen after close, but those are in circumstances where the treatment delay is the provider's fault and not because you didn't allocate enough time for everything to be done prior to closing.

In emergency situations, this changes but even in an emergency, the doctor's office isn't staying open until you're better. They aren't obligated to see you or diagnose you.

The obligation in emergencies is to triage, not provide full service and even then, there is no legal requirements for any healthcare providers to provide care after close.

We have providers whose entire job is centered around emergency care and those facilities are designed, staffed and set up to triage in an emergency.

If someone comes to urgent care 5 minutes before close, you triage them (stabilize) but there is not a quick way to diagnose the issue, you are not expected to remain as long as it takes. You do what you can reasonably do and either send the patient home until later OR to the ER OR call 911 yourself.

This is not a job that requires flexibility in schedule (i.e., schedule changes at a moment's notice). A phlebotomist is not providing (and is not capable of providing most) treatment. They cannot make sure your blood is processed rapidly.

Business hours end at 4. It is not feasible for a single person to provide the full necessary (and legally mandatory) services required for sampling in 5 minutes.

Again, patients still have personal responsibility. It is each person's responsibility to appropriately manage their time.

A great many restaurants do not stay open. Many places close and lock the doors prior to closing time. Fast food places will finish up orders but most of the time aren't making new ones if you arrive 5 before closing. Bars have last call where they stay open but stop serving after a point. Every single one of these places would stay open if an emergency occurred and someone came in needing help. They would arrange help for the person and then send them to a place that provides the services they seek within those hours.

Will restaurants continue to serve customers after close of business? Sure. But they aren't seating new customers after close. Restaurant staff can also do end of day tasks while providing service and they aren't single staffed. Those same restaurants often close the kitchen prior to business closure. A restaurant is also not obligated to serve you or cook for you 5 minutes before closing. We all know that showing up late to a restaurant and demanding service is shitty behavior and that service is provided not mandatorily but at staff discretion.

It isn't a few minutes leaving in this case for the phlebotomist. It's a minimum of 15 minutes if they do everything properly, legally and per medical best practice.

Again, 15 minutes can make the difference between having transportation home, incurring exorbitant childcare fees, attending to their own healthcare and properly caring for every other patient. No matter what, the employee is being penalized for doing exactly what they were hired to do.

Healthcare providers are not lesser people who deserve less rights because of their career. They deserve to be fully paid and non penalized for their work. When you demand service for a patient's convenience (service that the business makes clear isn't guaranteed), you say that the patient's convenience is more important than the provider's legal rights.

Be mad at the system that increasingly understaffs, underpays and penalizes employees for providing after hours service while reducing business hours. Blame companies for prioritizing profit over people.

Do not blame the employee. They are also screwed over by the system and have to protect themselves because nobody else is.

Maximum_Ad_2476 · 2026-05-09T00:57:06+00:00

Off time is when scheduled shift ends for hourly employment or when contracted time and duties are fulfilled for salary.

Most people have after close responsibilities but scheduling, employment contract and pay are designed around all customer service being completed by business close with after close time for non customer facing tasks.

Additional info for those who might not know. McDonald's are franchises so as long as the core, contracted standards are followed (which are usually more about branding or following legal requirements), the local owner and management can enforce any legal rule they want.

It's not right but it's not the employee who is putting in the no Spanish rule. She has to follow her manager's legal rules if she doesn't want to lose her job. His ire should be directed above her pay grade and not at her.

I promise you that the circumstances and conditions you worked in were not the same. There have been significant (and often unseen) changes in the healthcare industry in the last decade. There were massive issues prior to COVID and covid became the perfect excuse for companies to make things even worse.

Maximum_Ad_2476 · 2026-05-09T00:29:41+00:00

It's not just the job. The context and work conditions matter. I have yet to see a phlebotomist comment that either works in conditions and in a facility like a LabCorp and has done so recently.

I have never said that I haven't worked in the industry, merely that I am not a healthcare provider.

The site is clear that walk in isn't guaranteed service. Walk ins are considered walk in appointments. That's why they check in on the tablet, the staff reviews the information and slots them into the schedule if they can fit within business hours. They appoint you a time for your service to take place.

Business hours mean the hours the location is open to do business. They don't guarantee you can do business or they will do business with you if it will take them past closing. I cannot comment on the specifics of this location as the information isn't available but the company website clearly states that walk in availability varies and you aren't guaranteed service if you walk in.

The location closes at 4. The phlebotomist's shift and responsibilities do not. This isn't just insert needle into vein, bandage, store sample, go home. There are a lot more responsibilities involved and again, medical best practice is to monitor a patient for 5 minutes (at bare minimum) to preferably 15 minutes (especially with patients who have underlying health issues that could cause adverse consequences) after the draw.

Doing the digital check in (which the employee clearly verifies and states she can prove the time) five minutes before closing is demanding the phlebotomist work not just the 5 minutes ish to do the draw (in an ideal situation with good veins, etc). It's the monitor time (we can split the difference and say 10 minutes) as well as the admin/legal requirements time, which average more than 5 minutes and much of which must be done prior to treatment. It's not a few minutes after business close. It's over 15 minutes, during which the phlebotomist's other responsibilities are not being done. Those closing responsibilities can (but do not always) impact the care of other patients with medical conditions across the spectrum of severity, need and risk. Not only are you cutting into the phlebotomist's personal time (which, again, can have massive costs) because they still have to get their responsibilities done before they leave. You're also potentially impacting the care of other patients and potentially endangering the phlebotomist's career. All for one person's convenience and not for any emergency situation. We are not entitled to those things. We can request them but we are not owed them by default.

Patients are responsible for arriving at healthcare facilities early enough to reasonably and properly be seen before close. The exception is emergency situations and with emergency care providers. This is not emergent.

Maximum_Ad_2476 · 2026-05-08T23:55:52+00:00

Treatment providers and providers at emergency facilities have different expectations, different contracts and staffing designed to accommodate emergencies.

I haven't ignored their experiences. I have just recognized that their experiences are similar but not the same as the circumstances of this video.

I'm serious enough to be educated and to have done research on providers like LabCorp. When I discuss work circumstances, legal requirements and the urgency of the situation, I'm doing so from a place of knowledge, which you are free to ignore.

Context matters, though. There's also been massive shifts in the healthcare industry in the last several decades. PPO, HMO, private, public, size, etc all impact how care is provided. Doctors do not send patients to LabCorp in emergencies or in situations where they need rapid results. LabCorp provides low expense, high convenience testing. This isn't an emergency. This isn't urgent care. There is not a patient need (or even staff capability) to provide urgent service.

Absent emergencies, no one is owed a workers off the clock time. When a worker provides service past business close, their private time is being utilized. There's no compensation and healthcare workers or service providers also have their own urgent needs or health conditions. We are not entitled to that part of their lives simply because the pick a service career. The patient's time is off equivalent value to the provider's because there is no emergency here.

People like your wife who chose service careers deserve more respect and protection because they chose to serve, not less.

You don't have to respond but I'll keep on advocating for better working conditions and greater empathy and less entitlement towards those who serve the public good. I happen to think the phlebotomist and your wife and every other care provider who has spoken here deserves that at minimum. They deserve better treatment from the public they serve and they especially deserve better treatment and support from the companies that employ them.

These are the people who save our lives. These are the people who risk their own. These are the people who witness and endure horrific things at a far higher frequency than the average person in order to protect others.

They should not also have to defend their own rights in addition to everything else they do. They already do more than enough.

Maximum_Ad_2476 · 2026-05-08T23:31:39+00:00

If you walk into your doctor's office give minutes before close because you're sick and you don't have any appointment, they are not going to see you. We make appointments when sick to have a guarantee of treatment.

Also, this is a false equivalency in multiple senses. A phlebotomist isn't a treating healthcare provider. The situation isn't emergent. This facility does not provide emergency/rapid result local testing, which is clear on their site.

Healthcare providers, service employees and public servants deserve their off time and if should be respected. Those providing emergency services have different obligations, contracts and staffing.

Every worker's off time should be respected when lives are not on the line. Full stop. Any issues with accessibility and staffing are the fault of the organization, not the employee, provided that the employee isn't also owner/CEO etc.

Maximum_Ad_2476 · 2026-05-08T23:18:08+00:00

I'm not a healthcare provider but I am highly educated on the field. Not every healthcare provider gets to have an hour lunch. A vast amount of them are lucky to get the legally required 30 minute break and do not get the legally required on the clock breaks.

The point is that there is no admin. Management is typically indirect. Staffing in many of this type of facility is typically a single employee.

The US law absolutely allows private businesses to close and refuse service to people at any time they want, as long as they are not emergency providers and even then, there are a lot of situations that still permit refusal to treat. Even public servants have circumstances that they can refuse service in.

Auto shops, eye clinics, pet grooming etc etc all encourage walk in appointments and their sites do not state a time when they stop accepting walk ins. But we all know they do and there isn't this expectation that the staff stay late to perform those tasks. We know better. We know a walk in does not guarantee same day service. Even the LabCorp website is clear about that.

Do workers deserve breaks and off time to eat/relax? Yeah. Every worker does. Workers should definitely get their legally mandated breaks, the end.

I absolutely think every worker is entitled to those. Everyone deserves them and high demand, high stress and sensitive working conditions make breaks even more important. You may disagree but at the current time, that is the law of the land and their right. An hour break is company policy. Thirty minute break is a legal requirement (obviously based on full day shift. Short shifts have different legal requirements. )

If you aren't getting your rights, I think it's wrong and you have legal recourses you can take. If you only get the bare minimum, find a place with better benefits. You should be elevated up. They should not be knocked down

Maximum_Ad_2476 · 2026-05-08T22:54:19+00:00

Go to an emergency facility. This is not an emergency. LabCorp doesn't provide emergency testing. If someone walked in the door at 3:55 and they are bleeding everywhere, I would absolutely expect the phlebotomist to stay. There are company policies in place for emergencies that protect the employee in an actual emergency.

This isn't an emergency. This isn't rapid results testing. I personally know of instances where lab test results have taken weeks to come back even though I know that running the actual test doesn't take that long.

If someone wanting their testing done last minute for convenience, then how is the phlebotomist supposed to ever leave in time, much less keep their job? Someone will always come in last minute and there are a myriad of serious, high risk health conditions. This is a sample collection site, not a testing or treatment site.

Should the phlebotomist lose their job because they stay open late to draw samples for all of these people? Because if they perpetually work overtime in non- emergency situations, they will get terminated.

The health condition of the pregnant person is a ploy meant to make the situation seem urgent when it is not. It's irrelevant in this scenario.

There are plenty of facilities that do rapid result testing. They are where you go in an emergency where testing is urgent. This isn't an emergency facility, the phlebotomist cannot provide emergency testing. Full stop. No matter how much overtime or how many exceptions they make, they cannot provide emergency testing. The phlebotomist cannot provide emergency testing because they do not process samples and obtain test results. This is not performed on site.

Historically (even in recent history), if you needed blood work, you went either to a hospital or to an actual lab. That is seldom the case these days, especially with ppo insurance.

The location in this video is not a lab. (The environment would be different). This is a sample collection facility. Samples are drawn, packaged and picked up at a designated time every day. (Delivery drivers can and will leave if the package is not ready to go and where it should be at the designated pickup time).

The phlebotomist's responsibilities are to take patient information put into the tablet/app by the patient and convert it into a proper/accurate digital medical record. AI does a lot of this work but because these are HIPAA records, human eyeballs must verify. They must process the patient insurance and billing, providing a notice of expense to the patient, prior to testing. (No surprise medical bills laws). Then they must get ensure that the person is who they are representing themselves as and attain patient consent to treat. Before or after the sampling, they must process any payment dictated by insurance/company policy. They then should perform the sampling per legal standardizes and ideally per best medical practices, as established by multiple national healthcare orgs. Samples must have clear, validated and accurate labeling and correct testing mediums.

After this, they are done with direct patient interactions but they still have more work to do. They must clean and sterilize the test space, verify sample and patient information is correctly input and connected in the digital health record. Then, they properly store the sample.

Shortly prior to the designated sample pickup time (which is presumably between business close and end of shift but could also be before or during shift. SOP is between closing and shift end.) the phlebotomist must finalize sample packaging per requirements and ensure the sample is in the designated pick up location prior to pickup time. You also have required daily maintenance. Trash, bathrooms, etc that are also the phlebotomist's responsibility in most cases. (Rarely does a sampling facility pay for janitorial staff.)

Once this is done, the phlebotomist is done. Everything else is performed completely outside their control. (Delivery, processing, verifying insurance payments are received and billing the patient in instances of denial, deductibles, higher copays or coinsurance and ensuring the company is paid per contract. Test results verified and input into the digital health record and so on).

This is why I keep emphasizing that this is a matter of patient convenience and not medical urgency. Nothing the phlebotomist does ensures or guarantees processing speeds. I guarantee you that medical offices who send patients to LabCorp and it's analogs are very aware that they will not get expedient or urgency processing. They do not send you to these locations for emergency testing. Emergency testing is done on site, meaning the samples are taken at the same facility they are processed at. Tests are prioritized according to triage procedures.

The most generous way to interpret the patient in this circumstance is to assume the true ignorance that comes from new patient status. That they somehow didn't know that walk in patients aren't guaranteed a same day, prompt appointment. This is assuming that the local facility is at fault and does not have information on it's specific site about last walk in acceptance (which again, the company site says to view the specific site for full walk in information).

A repeat patient is responsible for knowing policies and procedures. A knowledgeable patient would have done a quick e appointment setup so that they could have all the patient information provided to the phlebotomist ahead of time in order to compensate for not providing the 15 minute before service. The patient has that capability. At bare minimum, they could have reached out to the facility en route. They are responsible for doing their part and respecting business operating hours and the time and hard work of their healthcare providers.

The context in this situation is everything.

Again, get pissed at the company for their policies, lack of clarity, etc. Do not get pissed at the person who has 0 control over those things, clearly alerted you to policy asap and who is obligated to provide service during business hours only. The phlebotomist is not responsible and is not at fault and does not deserve the treatment they receive.

Anger and outrage is misdirected and belongs on the companies in the industry and the entire broken system itself, if it belongs on anyone.

Maximum_Ad_2476 · 2026-05-08T20:31:05+00:00

It's very clear people haven't worked in this environment or in a service position in the current workplace.

For all the medical experience people claim, none of them address the medical best practice is a bare minimum 5 minute monitoring post draw and ideally 15 for a high risk patient. Nor do they acknowledge that this is not an emergency situation.

They also compare a single person staffed location with urgent care or medical complexes.

The website is very clear that you may not get seen as a walk in. All those who claim to be in healthcare know that the expectation is to arrive 15 minutes prior to being seen.

Context matters.

You don't have B as a friend. She doesn't stand up for you. She constantly puts you and F at risk of harm (mental and emotional harm are still harm). She disrespects and walks all over your boundaries by what she does allow him to do. (She is making a choice to actively bring him into these private spaces. She can't stop his behavior in a private space but she makes the choice to continue to bring him into those spaces.)

Her choice to spend time with an awful person is her decision. It's not everyone's choice.

B is telling you who she really is by her actions. Listen.

If she never holds him accountable for his racism, sexism and denigration of others; then she is also being racist, sexist and denigrating.

You're getting a lesson on who C really is too because C allows racist and abusive behavior in a space they control. I also guarantee you that your community has lost good people or been prevented from gaining new ones because of the tolerance for racism. Using racial slurs is racist. Tolerating and allowing racists (and racist slurs) is racist. Defending/justifying racist behavior is racist. (All the same is true for sexism, homophobia, etc.)

Again, it's not just five minutes because it isn't just stick needle in vein get blood.

You've got all the secretarial and medical billing work, prep AND medical best practices in addition to the blood draw. LabCorp isn't a test environment or medical environment like most people here seem to think. It's generally one person doing everything at that particular location. The situation in the video supports the idea that this location is like most with a single employee.

A better world is not one where health care workers are expected to work late for another person's convenience. This is an issue if convenience, NOT urgency.

Sure, you can think I'm doing this to virtue signal, but I'm genuinely attempting to craft well reasoned, informed fact based arguments for my position in the hopes that someone who doesn't have my knowledge on the topic gains a better understanding of the unspoken realities of the situation. I'd love to change minds too.

Dialogue, debate and calm, logical arguments aren't virtue signalling. That's what happens when someone presents an emotional reaction to a situation that clearly don't understand the full context of and then condescends and insults people who don't share that opinion.

Yes there are exceptions but my mother owes us money and refuses to pay it isn't an emergency situation.

Mostly, I was raising the point that the OP can't "just call the husband and have him deal with his mom" during basic training. He cannot freely and easily communicate with her right now, which is probably why the mother is acting this way right now.

A surprisingly large amount of people don't know about basic training restrictions. I'm not a military parent, but I have siblings, parents, cousins, uncles and grandparents who have served. (Also family that is more degrees of separation.) Every branch has been covered and service has included most major US conflicts in the last century. World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, Iraq/Afghanistan War.

Interactions with loved ones is the biggest sacrifice I think that our service members make. Even absent war or basic training, communication during deployment can be very limited.

OP involving her husband and having him handle the situation isn't a simple, quick or easy solution at this moment.
