    After my appointment I was told to go to the lab. On my way to the lab a man from check out told me I was not allowed to leave with checking out. I told him I was going to the lab. He became indifferent and said no, you cannot leave without checking out. I didn't realize this was a matter that involved security guards. He could have been pleasant, but was not. I was upset and went to the lab next. I said I was unhappy with check out, where the young lady let me know she was not there to hear about it. She became very aggressive, pulled the tourniquet as hard as she could. She could have easily given someone a terrible skin tear. She was terribly rude.

    It was VERY confusing that I had to sign a disclaimer for the vaccine I received that said I could be billed approximately $1,000 for a vaccine that I knew my Medicare should cover. I had already researched it. This truly made me lose a bit of trust in Prisma. Prisma's main billing unit was no help at all! However, when I called Cypress Internal directly, there were more helpful. I almost didn't get the vaccine. This needs to be fixed.

    Okay, the only problem I had was any sleep medications that the doctors would have prescribed for me while I was there in the hospital and while I needed sleep medication following my days in the hospital. family doctor was not aware of this and so no sleep medication was given to me and I would have liked to have gone home with some.
