Positive or negative results aside, aren't they supposed to let you know?
"No news is good news" doesn't fly with me as far as Dr appts go. I had my 1 hour glucose 2 weeks ago, called last Friday to see if they had the results and still no call back. I even let them know at the appt that I'm concerned with GD being linked with Hyperemesis (which of course, they knew nothing about and had no answers at the time) but they knew I was worried. I understand that failing the 1 hour doesn't necessarily mean anything, but if I have to go in again, I do have a job that I have to schedule this around.
Needless to say I'm not impressed. Do you get a call back, no matter the results?
Re: Does your Dr/nurse call you after every test w/results?
depends on the test. some of them they only call if there is something to worry about, some they call regardless. But they always tell me what they'll be doing before I leave the office so I know to expect a call or not.
I would be calling your doctor again.

I actually never get a call with results - they are just discussed at my next appt. But they are usually pretty good at getting back to me when I call with questions. I would definitely call again.

Actually my doctor never calls me with results!
They just tell me the results at my next appointment. However, so far everything has been good. I am sure if something was wrong they would call me, but otherwise I am fine with just waiting until my next appointment (especially since I go every two weeks now).
Thank you! I'm more than certain they said they would call too, because they let me know where I had the lab work done the results can "take a couple extra days". Even if they don't typically call, I called them, they should call me back.
The only tests Dr. called about were at the very beginning. Otherwise she makes me wait until she gets the results now. So I usually find out that day what the results are. I go pee in my cup or get my blood drawn or whatever that appointment is for, then go to my appointment with the Dr. She measures me and checks baby's heartbeat and we talk for a bit. Then a nurse or someone from the lab brings the results in and Dr. tells me (basically if I have a UTI or not.... they've been pretty constant since 14 weeks). She shows me the paper some times, but I usually don't know what it all means.
Anyway, good luck!
Cleveland Clinic has something called "My Chart". It keeps track of your medications, upcoming appointments, test results, etc. I have had to have a ton of bloodwork done because of my clotting factor. It's really nice because I get an email letting me know that My Chart has been updated. Then I log in and see my results. Sometimes they are a little hard to decipher, but most of the time I can tell whether the results are good or not.
I went in last Friday for blood work at about 11:00 am. By 4:30, My Chart had been updated along with a note from my doc that said "Results good. Continue with same dose." I love the system and was impressed with how fast I had a communication from him. I would be calling your doc again if I was you.
I never get a call back with results. However, some of them are instant at my clinic. For instance they were able to give me results for the Glucose test right away, and the same with when I get a finger prick.
I have never heard anything on my urine analysis, but I am confident that my doc would let me know if something was wrong.
