Re: My second check-up/You do not have to wait :)

[Guest guest]

I sometime feel like I would be dead if I had to wait for the Doctor

to call. I get my test results before my Doctors even have them. When

I first started this I had to research every item in the test to find

out what they were about and if they were good or bad. HCV/RNA test

and a couple of other odd ball tests can take 4 or 5 days to get the

results. I either have them faxed to me or pick them up at my local

hospital where I get bloodwork done. CBC, Liver Panels, CMP panels

are available in 24 hours. If a Doctor or I ask for STAT its within 4

hours.

Its a battle and a fight to get access like this to my medical

records and I think most gave up the battle because they were just

sick to death of me hammering away at them every day
