Allergy Testing - FAIL

I went in for my testing for food allergies yesterday - first they tested it on my skin to make sure I did not have a serious reaction. After that she became sticking the needles in me to test me and we were talking and I said I cannot believe I am getting tested for 96 different food allergies and she said oh you are not being tested for food allergy you are being tested for regular allergies.

I said no I am suppose to be tested for food allergies. She looked at my chart and said the doctor only has you marked down as allegies and I said yes but I am telling you it is for food allergies and she said the doctor was away on vacation until next week and she cannot make that call. I will have to call back next week - speak with him or leave a message for him and see if he wants to do the food allergy testing.

So I am allergic to maple, dust mites and cockroaches - which is strange that they even test for cockroaches. I have to wait and call back and set up yet another appointment to be testing for food allergies. I almost feel like they did this on purpose to be able to bill me twice.

Guh, I can't believe they would do that. I'm sorry you have to go twice over. Stop eating those cockroaches now, will you?
