withdrawing of blood as designated and qualified by the employing medical
facility or other employing entity of those persons.
(2) The person tested may, at his own expense, have a person of his own
choosing, who is authorized to make a test, administer an evidentiary test for
alcohol concentration in addition to the one administered at the request of a
peace officer.
