Called prior to driving 30 minutes to Storm Lake to have TB test read as I was late and was told that was fine and they would read it. Drove the 30 minutes and was told they couldn’t read it. I understand there are rules, but wasted an hour of my time when a simple “no” over the phone would have been appropriate. Don’t recommend.
