What works for me is each time I have lab work done, I have the nurse make a notation on the lab sheet to send me a copy of the results. Therefore, when the doctor gets the results of the lab work, they automatically send me a copy. As far as the dictation, at least once yearly I request a copy of my entire file from, say, 9/2000 through 9/2001. If it's something you need sooner, then call the doctor's office about a week after your appt and tell them you need a copy of the doctor's transcription. As I say, this approach works for me; however, I must also add that I've gotten to be a bit bossier / demanding since the RP diagnosis than I ever was before. Hope this helps. Love, T.
