Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hello Alison, You should check the laws in your country. Perhaps ask a patient advocacy group what your rights as a patient are. The results from the MRI are from your personal information and as such, you should have a right to view them. Doctors are obliged to let the patient read their results in Canada. Many Doctors scoff at this and say that the patient will get confused as they do not understand medical language. I have found that as a lay person, I have, with a dictionary, learned to understand the medical terminology quite fine on many topics ~S. --- " Alison Orr " <alison@...> wrote: I have no idea when or even if *I'll* > get the results of the MRI.
