Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I'm very lucky, I have all of my labs and 95% of my tests done about 5 minutes from where I work, so I give them a few days to get the results, and then just go and pick them up. Patsy [ ] Re: OT- Thank you Patsy... I think I you mentioned that in the past that you picked up your labwork. However, I am usually rushing to leave that place so fast that I forget to do so each time or sometimes it takes awhile to get the lab results back. I do have some of my labwork, however. Even so, it is always nice to talk it over with the doctor, especially when things are not improving. I expect that actually. I'll work it out. After hearing some of your experiences here on the board, I now know it isn't just me. Maybe they are just rushing them through medical school too quickly. or something! thanks, Ebony > > Hmm, lack of drs going into rheumatology does not surprise me.. I live in a 'retired persons' suburb of Phoenix, and you would expect more rhuemys here, but there is a terrible shortage. As for lab results I ALWAYS get a copy for myself. When he heard that, one dr said " why do you do that? " and I said " because I want to know what's happening with my body, and whenever I have a new dr, I can give them the info that they need without having to track down records " . I got to say that just as I handed him the report on the chest x-ray that he had ordered, and he hadn't received his copy yet. LOL, I loved it. > > Good luck with whichever medical facility you choose, those are both good ones. > > Patsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
