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 .

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,,,

LOL my doc asks me to bring him copies cause it takes my lab forever to fax them

to him . Besides doctors are so busy sometimes that they tend to forget to call

us , and when we have abnormal tests that can be harmful if something goes

untreated because the dr had no time . I am agressive when it comes to my own

records and health . I also tend to intimidate doctors alot
