jkhasf so I'm terrified of needles, as I've mentioned before. I got my TB test in July (even though you can get a chest x-ray for it too, it's more expensive and my mom wouldn't pay for it) and it sucked and hurt and such but whatever, I was done with it. But today I got an e-mail from Health Services saying the reaction (WHICH WAS NOTHING THERE WAS NO REACTION AT ALL THE WHOLE WEEKEND) was read over the 72 hour limit so I have to get it done again. And it's not like it's my fault, the freaking nurse told me when to come in to get it checked, but it was like 86 hours after I got the test so they're refusing to accept it. And it's written into Minnesota state law that it has to be read before the 72 hours so there's absolutely no way getting around this. My doctor is trying to write a letter explaining that they told me to come in and it was absolutely no reaction, it wasn't like it was really close to the size of what would be considered positive, there was nothing. I DON'T FREAKING HAVE TB. GAH. I'm really pissed off at my doctor because they should know when to get it read. Maybe I can convince my mom to pay extra and just get an x-ray, because I really, really don't want to have to get it done again. I already did it once, I shouldn't have to get it done again.
sigh. This has been a bad day.
