C: “Okay, sir, the doctor would like you to have some bloodwork done two weeks prior to your next appointment.”
(I hand him the lab slip and D stares blankly at me for a moment.)
D: “What do they do with the leftover blood?”
C: “Sorry?”
D: “What do they do with the blood that they don’t use?”
C: “Um, I believe it’s discarded as they have no use for it…”
D: “Do you think they would give it to me?”
C: “You want the leftover blood sample?”
D: “Yes. It’s MY blood.”
C: “What would you do with it?”
D: “I don’t know, but I want it!”
C: “Have a nice day, sir.”
