Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 As some of you may know, I had an MRI on Thursday evening. I was told I would hear from my doc in 24-48 hours. While I was sitting there talking to Rod tonight, I realized that it is time to get my new scripts. While planning out the logistics of doing that, seeing as how I'm down with Rod working Ike, I decided on a whim, to call my *other*, as in the one I never use and the one the doctor isn't supposed to use either, phone. I hadn't heard from anyone in the doc's office yet, and I thought that they might have left me a message there... Intuition paid off! Someone had called from the doc's office. It wasn't a member of the staff, though. It was... The doctor! He wants me to call him tomorrow at 8:30 AM. to discuss my MRI. The last time I had an MRI, a member of the staff called me back and told me there was nothing wrong! Now, I am freaking out because it wasn't a member of staff, but the doc himself and I can't afford to have something wrong with my knee... Like I know there is. So, has anyone had their doctors call them about test results? If so, were they normal? I mean, you'd think if they were, that a member of staff would call, right? Now, I'm all scared... Something I don't need! -- Dodge " I make the living, my dog makes the living worthwhile.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 dd, I have never had to go in when there was nothing wrong. But one thing I have learned is if my rheummy's ofc doesn't call me with my lab results within 2 days, I call them. The lab my insurance makes them use has failed 3 times to give them the results and twice I needed to adjust my meds when this happened. Shirley > > > > In a message dated 9/14/2008 10:18:27 P.M.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Dodge, I feel the anxiety in your words and can completely identify with your feelings (fears). In situations like this I tend to run a little movie projector in my mind playing out the whole scenario. It usually ends up with some really bad thing happening to me. Almost always though reality is never as bad as what's running on that little projector. Hang in there and get the facts. I'm hoping and praying it's just a case that the doctor's nurse took off early for the weekend leaving him with the mundane chores of calling patients to let them know their results are in. I guess worrying about it isn't going to change anything. Someone told me once that worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do while you're sitting there but doesn't get you any place. Hang in there and let us know what he says. Bob > > As some of you may know, I had an MRI on Thursday evening.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hey Dodge. Keep your head up. My docs call me themselves most of the time and it hasn't always meant anything really.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Hang in there, Dodge. The doctor calling doesn't necessarily mean something " bad " . He could just want to clarify something with you. And the time of day he requested you call could just be a time before he starts getting swamped with patients. Keep us posted. My prayers are with you.......Doreen > > As some of you may know, I had an MRI on Thursday evening.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Dodge, I hope everything is ok! Please let us know! I'm late as usual in reading the posts...I am treated at the University of Michigan and actually my doctor calls me herself personally to give me all of my test results (even when normal). She's even phoned me from her home number to check on me during certain flares or any problems I may be having. Sometimes my GP calls me himself to just let me know results of tests he ran but some of the time its his staff. you are right Jane! It is really difficult to go through some of this stuff alone!
