Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Yep, you are right and you know that IF a certain doc uses the same lab for all his patients, they will know who the nurse is and so they CAN get the info for you,, but I think they have to give them to you IF YOU GO IN PERSON with PICTURE ID! silvianursey wrote: Yes you can.....a patient can have several doctors. There's a place on the lab slip where you can write who to send copies to....but the doctors usually do not bother filling it out....and when the patient comes in he says I just had lab done by such and such doctor....You can call the lab and ask for them. I have done many times....with the patient's permission, of course. If the lab says to get them from whoever ordered them you can say the patient is here now and I need them right away. They will ask you for ss#, date of birth and date of service and if you know tha doctor's account number is even easier. It is ridiculous to think that if a doctor is on vacation and his office is closed, you wouldn't be able to get results directly from the lab.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 If I hadnt gone to the place that did my ultrasound and biopsy to get the results for myself I would have gone on believing I had cancerous lesions on my liver . It was the fact that I read them for myself that kept me from having a bunch of other more invasive tests done . I even have my biopsy results and my doctor doesnt yet . LOL .... after finding out that he had read me someone else's ultrasound results the doc decided he liked the fact that I keep him from making an error and he asked me to continue doing so . Jackie on wrote:ABSOLUTELY!!! I DEMAND copies of MY recoreds,, all my labs, etc, and I keep them in a file at home... and IF I have had a test and havent heard from the doc in a normal amount of time, IM on the phone like a madwoman until I GET my results!!! YOU have to be your own advocate, remember you have only you to take care of ,,they have hundreds of patients,,, jax elizabeth savage wrote: LOL my doc asks me to bring him copies cause it takes my lab forever to fax them to him .
