Deceased

February 6, 2019

YESTERDAY – Oh – get this. I had to go get some labwork done to make sure my white blood count is decent since i ended antibiotics last week. The woman checks me in, prints off all the labels, etc and takes me in to the room to get the blood draw.

She goes on the computer there to draw up the orders, and says “ahhh, your birthday is x/x/xx?” – Uh, yeah”

“Huh. They have you as deceased”

WTF? How could they even draw up orders if I am listed as deceased?
She said she had no idea what to do, but she just drew my blood and said she’d call them and figure it out, So at least I didn’t have to sit around and wait while she worked it out
I told her, I was in the hospital a while ago and felt dead, but I’m not…

I’ll never find out what happened I’m sure

TODAY – So it’s confirmed I’m dead. Went for my follow-up and asked the nurse if they got my results,and told her what happened. And she said, “Yeah, we saw that! Didn’t know what to do about it. Our front desk person should be able to fix it.” But I don’t think she ever spoke to the front desk person.

It’s hospital system wide. Not just the lab.

I guess I need to make some phone calls

On another note – HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MM!
