All routine lab tests as well as special multiple timed lab draws are drawn by phlebotomy personnel 24 hours a day. Similarly, the nursing staff will place nasogastric tubes, foley catheters and IV’s, including PICC lines. Respiratory therapy is available 24 hours a day. EKG technicians or nurses perform EKGs. There is very little if any “scut work” done by our house staff.
