[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2303715, member: 345386"] Sammyjanee - Personally, I always as k for the actual test results (although now with online access, I can help myself to them), so that I can see exactly what has been done and where my results are in the "normal" ranges and so on, so that I can begin to form my own views. One tactic I have found useful in the past is to ask the person I am consulting what they would do in my shoes. In your case, the query would be what they would do next, if their little girl/boy had just received your daughter's results. It usually makes the Doc's eyebrows rise a bit (although my own GP got used to it), and maybe think again. If they responded, along the lines of "our guidelines suggest, or the NICE pathway says......", I would remind him/her my question was what he or she would do, not what the system said. On that basis, I've had some good conversations with my GP about an issue I had that took ages (and, in my case, a decent lump of money) to sort out. [/QUOTE]
