Just an FYI:
I worked for one of the major lab companys for 5 years and depending on the state/county most hospitals are contracted to one of the 3 players (labcore, qwest or orchid) to handle all their blood samples. That means the test is probably happening in some other state (the company I worked for had 5 domestic locations and if they had that contract that work would be completed in Dallas TX [not the nearest], that location was specifically assigned handling potential criminal cases with a chain of custody) now that sample would arrive in TX with a date stamp and would be handled weeks from arrival due to the thousands of samples already sitting in a frig waiting testing for similar cases all over the country, now I mentioned earlier depending on the state/county because some states/counties require the testing be done locally, then the testing would be handled by some small local lab unless one of the major players were in their town (not likely) and the time for results would be shortened. Typical wait time 5-7 weeks. [smiley=pumpkin.gif]
