Grace, a caregiver from the Philippines, brings her employer for a fasting blood test.
Grace: Hello, we are looking for the blood test room. My employer needs a blood test today.
Sharon: Sure. Do you have the lab order form?
Grace: Yes, here it is.
Sharon: Thank you. The Lab is on the first floor, past the pharmacy, Room 108. Did she eat breakfast?
Grace: No, doctor said no food, no water.
Sharon: Perfect, that's correct for this test. Take a number from the machine outside Room 108 and wait to be called.
Grace: Okay. After the blood test, then what?
Sharon: She can eat right after. Results are ready in about three days — the doctor will call you.
Grace: Thank you very much.
Sharon: You're welcome, good luck.
