I had a long discussion with Dr Daniels nurse yesterday about delivering samples. She said if I deliver sample (be sure it’s in one of the collection containers, kept in an ice pack in the drive to Chapel Hill and all the way to handing it over) take it to their 2nd floor office in the new medical building. They will courier the sample to the lab in the UNC hospital. I was going to do it yesterday but decided Friday on 4th of July weekend not the best time to deliver a sample. I’ll do it Tuesday, the 5th. Dr Daniels nurse said they are swamped at Mac/Bronch Clinic right now. If Dr Despotes is easy to reach, I’d stick with her for now. Let me know how it goes for you.

Thank for your response, Dr. Despotes replies to my messages on the portal timely, but it is difficult to get an appointment with her. Scheduling months in advance. Therefore, I have a local pulmonologist that I see between 2 X a year visits with her. I make appointments with him 2 X a year also. (Trying for every 3 months). I did not know that the specimens would have to be hand delivered. I live in Wilmington, so I will continue to take them to the hospital lab here.
