bloodwork results question

[operationgetbig]

im going to the doc tomorrow to go over bloodwork from 2 weeks ago and to get my bp rechecked since it was high. they put me on meds and just want to make sure it's ok now.

If i ask the doc for a copy of my bloodwork does he have to give it to me. i wanna keep it for my personal records. im getting my testosterone levels checked and wanna post up all my bloodtest results on here tomorrow

some doctor's act like its a sin to ask for your blood results... but bttm line thats the magic word!!! its yours!! dont take no for an answer. make up a reason like your job wants it if he is an ass

yeah that's what i'm worried about. but they'd tell me if anything wasnt normal. and im gonna ask what my free and total testosterone levels are. but i'll try and get the whole results.

they have to give you your medical records. they are yours! not 100% sure but i think by law they have to.

I always get a photocopy of the test results as I WOULD FORGET WHAT THEY WERE after a few months!

Dude your blood test results are yours. Not only does your Dr. have to give it to you, but you should be keeping a file with all your medical history.

If your doc doesn't want to give em to you just tell him that you NEED the results for your own medical records and for your own reference. Most doctors won't be an ass. If yours decides to give you trouble about it, then you should be looking for a new doctor.

he has to give you a copy.... i go into my doc's office hand him a list of lab work i want, and off to the lab i go!
