Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 I dont waste my time getting them from the doc , he is to slow . I get them from the source , the lab . They have never had to have the doctor see them before me . I do the same when I have xrays and ultrasounds . billy lewis wrote:Yes and quest used to have a web site where you could get your own lab results.
