How I can relate to this. It has happened to our family on several occasions. The doctors take their good old time and the excuse is always the same. They are busy getting results or some other tale of woe. The best thing to do is to call them yourself several times and leave a message with his receptionist. You make sure to tell them you are suffering from anxiety over this. They will call pronto.

Hey there, MaryJane31 - sound advice. I called and then they finally called me back and told me my results were fine... They had me scared for nothing. I know they are very busy people, but goodness, it can eat at you when you don't know if your really sick or not yet.

to get your blood presure higher co they can look for something else wrong with you.

Staraj says,

Waiting is pre-ordained programming. That's why they call their clients "patients".
