Guest guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Could you ask for copies of the actual results to be mailed to you without his interpretation while you are waiting? There are lot's of us who have gotten the tests done and could offer some thoughts (albeit not expert medical advice). People on the Latitudes forum are especially educated and helpful in this regard. The other thing, is, check with your pediatrician to see if they received any of the results. I know that when Dr. B. orders tests for us, and we have blood drawn at our local lab, our pediatrician gets the results far earlier than Dr. B. I don't know whether that's because the pediatrician is in the same medical network as the lab or whether Dr. B's office has actually gotten them, but is also a tad less than organized... (not criticizing....they are also incredibly overwhelmed with patients in crisis...so I try to be understanding). Just some thoughts. I know how frustrating it can be. Been there.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hey , so you still don't know if it's PANDAS or not? Feel free to post any of the lab results here, others with experience may be able to interpret some for you. Hate that you haven't got to talk with him about it!! I know he's busy but we all want that follow-through afterwards to get some answers on how to proceed with OCD treatment! > > very annoyed!! > > ordered labs in april and i still have not gotten his full interpretation...bits and pieces...his recep. says i have to pay for a phone consult??...wt & %! > > i saw him in april and he ordered these labs in april where i paid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 for the record, i don't think jason is a pandas kid, just thought i would rule it out since jason's history is not typical(autism)...i called his office and got an appt. in 2 days..hmmm.. after negative strep titers in november, this doc said lets run other things and try to figure out what's going on with jason...he said he would look at metabolic stuff also. yes, his office sent me all jason's lab results(from an april office visit, april labs), they emailed them and i even got him on the phone once and he looked at his labs real quick over the phone, he just happened to answer the phone that day and pulled up his labs while on phone with me and ordered an anti and carnitor.. but what about the other markers on his tests? shouldn't he look at the results in full and let me know what he thinks? this doesn't seem thorough to me at all! i feel like i have bits and pieces, i don't expect him to talk to me on the phone all the time for one office visit but they were labs from that visit why can't i get his FULL interpr. of them? it feels like an incomplete consult. > > > > very annoyed!! > > > > ordered labs in april and i still have not gotten his full interpretation...bits and pieces...his recep. says i have to pay for a phone consult??...wt & %! > > > > i saw him in april and he ordered these labs in april where i paid > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 it's 9:10am here in NJ and dr. t just called me to apologize and he will review jason's labs and call me back and i told him my honest opinion that i feel the results should be included in the visit and i told him i think he's disorganized i also told him that i feel that jason may be on the backburner with him since pandas is his obsession and maybe this is more metabolic, he assured me that is not the case and he will try to help me figure jason out... > > very annoyed!! > > ordered labs in april and i still have not gotten his full interpretation...bits and pieces...his recep. says i have to pay for a phone consult??...wt & %! > > i saw him in april and he ordered these labs in april where i paid out of pocket...shouldn't info on these specific labs be included? > > i think he should analyze his test results in full and call me for five minutes... > > his recep hung up on me today!! > > yeah, he seems very nice when you are in the office, but like someone said here...so disorganized!! > > his disorganization makes it seem like it's been a long time and now you are due to come in office....NOT!!!!! > > and the unreturned phone calls.....ugh... > > so disappointed. > > kristin > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Call the lab and request a copy of the results. You have a right to your medical records. I know this for a fact.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Well glad he is responding now, and glad you were able to say all that to him (I'm a wimp sometimes, lol). Hope you get some answers as to which way to go with treatment! I'm interested in what he says, if you don't mind sharing! > > it's 9:10am here in NJ and dr. t just called me to apologize and he will review jason's labs and call me back and i told him my honest opinion that i feel the results should be included in the visit and i told him i think he's disorganized i also told him that i feel that jason may be on the backburner with him since pandas is his obsession and maybe this is more metabolic, he assured me that is not the case and he will try to help me figure jason out... > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
