It’s your blood usually tested immediately? At least my hospital gives me results right away (well, say within 30 minutes).

It might be different where you live, but where I am, the vast majority of blood tests are not done at the hospital. Family doctors and lab test centres do it.

I think you just made my point about a sufficiently detailed tree.

GP orders test. I go to a test center to get the blood drawn. They have couriers taking samples to labs a few times per day.
