Hey guys I received a TB shot on Thursday at a health clinic about 8 hours away (pre-employment), and it was about 4pm but she told me I could get the test read in my area and get the results faxed to them. Well it's Saturday and I am not sure where I could possibly go to get it read? My Dr's office is not open on weekends. The paperwork has to be done and faxed by Sunday since it will be after 72 hours by then. Does anyone know where to go or what to do in this situation??

Go to the emergency department of your local hospital and explain your situation to them. Bring the fax number along with you. The results only need to be given by a nurse. You might find one there who'll do if for nothing, if you're nice.

I work for a hospital and I send all my tb test to the nurses here , so basically just find a open hospital and any nurse can read it for you . Try the er nurses they can most definitly do it ! From the size you descriped it sound negative so good luck with your new job!
