i realize why it's done this way. but i don't like that my doctor is getting results and then i have to get the from him. i'd much rather see the results and then consult with my doctor about appropriate medical action. [ Reply | More

that wouldn't be an efficient or convenient for the doctor. not all patients are responsible enough to review the results and call their doctor. what happens if there is something wrong and the patient never calls the doctor? [ Reply | More

then the patient will reap what they have sown. listen, i know it's not going to happen. and i realize why it won't. but i'm annoyed that they won't send me the results of some important testing and instead tell me they're sending it to my dr and he'll have to let me know when he gets it.

it didn't used to bother me. but there was a particular test that i really want to see the results for. i went to a special testing facility and it didn't even occur to me that they wouldn't send me the results. i called them and they were like "we'll send them to the doctor that referred you to us". and it really bothered me. they are my test results. i want them. if i decide to take it to the doctor for further review, then i will do so. if i'd known they'd do this, i would not have given the name of the referring doctor.

why can't you ask your doctor for a copy of the results and talk to him about the next step? [ Reply | More

obviously i will have to do so. but it irks me to have to ask him for my own medical information. (i'm having issues with my doctor as well right now. i'd rather get the results and then decide if i want to go to him or someone else. i don't wnat him to break the news to me about whatever results he has.)

^^^you know what? i didn't realize that's really what's bothering me. i don't want to hear the test results from him. i want to read them in the privacy of my bedroom and then go talk to the doctor about the ramifications and relevance and plan of action. [ Reply | More

yeah. but it's too late now. b/c they won't send me my own medical information, they will only send it to the doctor i was using at the time. so i'm not happy about it. (in the long run, it won't really make a difference. but with so many things spinning out of control, i wish this wouldn't be added to it. i feel like so many things are made harder than they have to be b/c of beurocracy (sp?) or procedure, etc. but that's another rant for another night) [ Reply | More

np - I totally agree with you. In most other places besides US, your records are yours. You show them to the doctor but they belong to you. When I lived in france I remember that I would go to a lab for a blood test and then pick up the results myself. If I wanted them faxed to the doctor I needed to ask. [ Reply | More
