Medtexx Phlebotomy

Has anyone used Medtexx phlebotomy "weekend training"?

I have often thought that a phlebotomy training or certification in a single weekend seemed too good to be true. Is it?

It sounded a little fishy, but since I am a trusting kind of guy and I thought that the medtexx site appeared professional, I fell for it.  Needless to say, I never got a chance to evaluate the training since they have never given me a training even though I paid for it over 2 years ago.

Since that time, I have had some legal professionals that have told me that I should just take them to court and get back the money that they owe me:
- $450 medtexx phlebotomy certification entrance ticket that I was charged
- $400 in lost wages from days taken off work for the weekends that I signed up to go (and they cancelled)
- $500 in hotel fees for hotel stay that I pre-paid for (even though the trainings were not offered last minute)
- $60,000 in past income that I could have earned over the past 2 years as a phlebotomist in a hospital by now
--> total amount = $61,350

What a hassle though. I would have rather have been able to avoid the entire hassle in the beginning by not registering or at least having had the training or a refund since they did not provide any training in 2 years of waiting on them.

Plus the courts might see fit to have them pay me a lot more just to compensate for stress and wasted time I have spent in trying to get into their classes that they don't offer all that often...and then cancel last minute. Or an attorney might counsel me to just sue them for the millions in total amount in life income that I would have earned as a medical doctor had I gotten into the medical school I was trying to get into by using my experience, grades, letters of recommendation AND the phlebotomy certification and experience that would have come in the year to follow as a result of that.

But a nurse recently commented on the blog here that phlebotomy cannot be taught in a single weekend, but that it takes weeks and even months to learn how to properly draw blood. So apparently the idea of a weekend training is a complete farce. 

So my main goal of this blog is to at least help other people out there to not get scammed like I did.

Has anyone else used medtexx?
