Hi,
NHS surgeries seem to get wierder by the day. In the past I woud call my GP surgery and ask about my results...the numbers for hba1 c fasting etc....today I call (phone system says press 4 for test results)...get through...ask for my results...receptionist goes...I can't give you the resuts..we're not allowed to?? Why? Because we at reception aren't medically trained, so we can't give out info? ***?
I said I'm not asking you for advice...I'm asking you for the numbers on your screen...NO...so why do you have the option to press 4 for test results...and why can't a patient know about his own numbers...uumm listen mister...I'm not medically trained...I can't give out the numbers...do you want to book an appt? ***!!??
So now I'm going waste my time, the doc's time just to get my own data?
Have you had the same experience for your results?
BTW...I asked her are the results "normal"...she said yes...but won't give numbers!
