Desiree'

I am so, so mad for you! As with many people today, it seems, their job turns into a routine. I'm afraid that some (most, in our case) lab techs lose sight of how much importance is in each of those reports. When it is a personal matter, though, we have to be our own advocates.

My husband and I have been in luck getting our lab results, but only because we demand "wet" readings. These are test results that are read immediately, directed to our doctor and then given to us as soon as possible. Usually, before we leave the doctor's office. ( A trick taught us by a good friend who is a radiology tech )

In the future, please express your anxiety, and see if this term gives you any earlier results.

Saying a prayer for you tonight,
Mandi
