17 Freakin' Pages!

So last night, H got a recommendation for a hemotologist for me. Turns out one of the people in his jewelry class is an immunologist and recommended this other doctor.

So I called to set up a consultation appointment. I want to see about doing something for the swelling and for preventative measure since I can't take aspirin anymore. They requested that I fax over all of my blood work from all of my doctors from the start of the clotting issue to now.

I spent my morning calling doctors' offices and having this stuff faxed to me. 17 pages later I'm sending it off to the hemotologist.

It would have been easier to have the tests run again, IMO. I'm betting I won't get an appointment for at least a month.

Re: 17 Freakin' Pages!

  • Stoopid blood results ~grumble~
  • Wow.  Are a lot of them duplicate (or triplicate tests), like doctor B re-ordering the same thing doctor A did?

  • Nope. Luckily I haven't been to that many regarding this and 2 of them had the same tests and shared the results.

    So I got my blood work from my GI which has nothing to do with the clotting issue (other than me not being able to take the aspirin) and that was like 2 pages. The rest were all of the tests from the battery they did when I first clotted.

    I could have done without refamiliarizing myself with this.

  • I'm just surprised that you were able to get them all faxed to you today.  I've never been able to get medical records without at least two nagging phone calls and a week+ of waiting.

  • My GI's office was easy. My husband calls on them at least once a week and they're very easy going and happy to help. My former primary care phys.' office refused to fax them to me unless I went to the office in person for a check up. Apparently they haven't gotten the notice that I am no longer their patient (I haven't been in that office in 5 years). Luckily my former gyn had the faxed results from my former primary care and I got the whole kit-n-kaboodle from his office.
