Hi

Beat this. I had 2 blood request forms but had them both at the one lab at the same time. The nurse took the blood from the same puncture with the same needle and just placed the blood into the 2 different tubes. The results were quite different to each other.

The doctor didn't care, he just shrugged and said that "it happens"

Good luck. Perhaps you should take the mean value of the 2 as correct.

Regards
