    She recommended the AA doc in town (the only one) and said he was great. Problem is, he doesn't take my insurance.
    So she did labs and said I could pick them up in a week. I finally got in touch with a competent person in records today who told me that "the doc has been trying to reach you". The office said that they couldn't release my results to me, even though I filled out their release, because the doc needed to see me to discuss.
    To be honest, it's kind of freaking me out since I haven't felt good for a long while.
    Thankfully, I only have to wait until tomorrow to see her.
    ...just had to vent...
    i've heard that before as well....the doctor needing to go over the results/bloodwork before giving the patient a copy

    TOTAL Bullsh#t! Just another way to make you pay for an office visit! It's not your doctors bloodwork, it's yours. Demand it. Here's another thought. Tell the doc that you'll only pay when and if you see positive results.

    i'll prolly always use the labs that dont require quack permission for bloodwork so moot point
