Repeatable tesfx

[panda22]

On Tuesday I will be having my 4th blood test since Christmas. Each one says repeat. Comments say mild lymphocytosis, repeat test. My doctors have not asked to see to discuss results so I don't know what's going on. Will try to get an appointment but to see doctor you have to wait a month or more.

Has anyone had the same problem

Hope you find the next test results show things have returned to within normal range panda22.

I would make an appointment now so that you can be sure you have one to discuss anything that concerns you in a months time. Regardless if test results come back good. You can always cancel the appointment nearer the time if you feel you don't need it.

My doc wait is around 3-4 weeks too. unless you can get through at 8am before all the spare appointments are taken for the day.

Good luck.

You should be able to see all your test results online, if you sign up to the surgeries service, suggest you enquire.

I always look at my test results without all the hassle of phoning etc.

I already do this. Results show lymphocytes 5.44 and neurophils 117. I am not unduly worried but it.Would be.nice to discuss them with doctor. Comments say mild lymphocytosis

I get all my test results, letters, appointments, in fact the whole range of my medical data via the hospital website/service. I can even view the internal letters between consultants that are not part of the medical records held by the surgery. My GP will only hold the extra record of when my rescue meds are replaced, that is all. Not all hospitals do this yet, but it is well worth asking about.

I have access to my gp records but not hospital. Could you tell me what I have to do to get access. Thank you

The one I use is specifically for the University Hospital Southampton, it is operated by them. The best advice I can give is to go onto your own hospital's web site and do a search for "Medical Record" or ask them at enquiries, to see if they offer the same sort of service.

This the UHS front end for "My Medical Record" service.

Thank you. I will contact the hospital.

My surgery do not have this facility. I have asked a few times as I can order prescriptions and make appointments but they dont give access for test results ??

[panda22 in reply to Izb1]

I thought that the freedom of information act says the you can see all records that are held about you. It's worth taking a look at

[Izb1 in reply to panda22]

Hi Panda, yes they will discuss with you but havent allowed this online, seems a bit silly to me to have an account but will only allow certain access x

Could you ask for a telephone consultation so the doc could explain these results.

Good luck.
